Alcohol-forming fatty acyl-CoA reductase
Alcohol-forming fatty acyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.2.1.84, FAR (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name long-chain acyl-CoA:NADPH reductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- a long-chain acyl-CoA + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ a long-chain alcohol + 2 NADP+ + coenzyme A
