Dihydrophloroglucinol is a chemical compound found in the pathway of the microbial degradation of
phloroglucinol and other phenolic compounds.
The enzyme
phloroglucinol reductase
In enzymology, a phloroglucinol reductase () is an enzyme that catalysis, catalyzes the chemical reaction
:dihydrophloroglucinol + NADP+ \rightleftharpoons phloroglucinol + NADPH + H+
Thus, the two substrate (biochemistry), substrates of this enz ...
uses dihydrophloroglucinol and
NADP+ to produce
phloroglucinol,
NADPH
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, abbreviated NADP or, in older notation, TPN (triphosphopyridine nucleotide), is a cofactor used in anabolic reactions, such as the Calvin cycle and lipid and nucleic acid syntheses, which require NAD ...
, and H
+. It is found in the bacterium species ''
Eubacterium oxidoreducens''.
