Very-long-chain enoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.1.93, TSC13 (gene name), CER10 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name very-long-chain acyl-CoA:NADP+ oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

a very-long-chain acyl-CoA + NADP+ [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] a very-long-chain trans-2,3-dehydroacyl-CoA + NADPH + H+

This is the fourth component of the elongase, a microsomal protein complex responsible for extending palmitoyl-CoA and stearoyl-CoA.
