In enzymology, beta-nitroacrylate reductase (EC 1.3.1.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
3-Nitroacrylic acid
 

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

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-nitropropanoate:NADP+ oxidoreductase.
