Comment typeDescription
Catalytic ActivityAcyl-CoA + NADP(+) = trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + NADPH.
FunctionOxidoreductase with a preference for short and medium chain substrates, including trans-2-hexenoyl-CoA (C6), trans-2- decenoyl-CoA (C10), and trans-2-hexadecenoyl-CoA (C16). May play a role in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
SimilarityBelongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family. Quinone oxidoreductase subfamily. {ECO:0000305}.
Subcellular LocationMitochondrion {ECO:0000250}.
SubunitHomodimer. {ECO:0000250}.
