CoA-disulfide reductase explained

CoA-disulfide reductase
Ec Number:1.8.1.14
Cas Number:206770-55-0
Go Code:0050451

In enzymology, a CoA-disulfide reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2 CoA + NAD(P)+

\rightleftharpoons

CoA-disulfide + NAD(P)H + H+

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are CoA, NAD+, and NADP+, whereas its 4 products are CoA-disulfide, NADH, NADPH, and H+.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is CoA:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include CoA-disulfide reductase (NADH2), NADH2:CoA-disulfide oxidoreductase, CoA:NAD+ oxidoreductase, CoADR, and coenzyme A disulfide reductase.
