In enzymology, an erythrulose reductase (EC 1.1.1.162) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

erythritol NADP D-erythrulose NADPH H

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are erythritol and NADP , whereas its 3 products are D-erythrulose, NADPH, 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 erythritol:NADP oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called D-erythrulose reductase.
