Hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase
In enzymology, a hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-lactate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3-pyruvate, NADH, and H+.
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 4-hydroxyphenyllactate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called HPRP. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.
