ethyl 3-oxohexanoate
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are ethyl (R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are ethyl 3-oxohexanoate, reduced NADPH, and a proton.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ethyl-(R)-3-hydroxyhexanoate:NADP+ 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called 3-oxo ester (R)-reductase.
