Parent Class:

EC-Numbers → 1 -- Oxidoreductases → 1.3 -- Acting on the CH-CH group of donors → 1.3.1 -- With NAD(+) or NADP(+) as acceptor

Synonyms: ard (gene name), NADH:acrylate oxidoreductase

Systematic Name: propanoate:NAD⁺ oxidoreductase

Unification Links: BRENDA:1.3.1.125, ENZYME:1.3.1.125, IUBMB-ExplorEnz:1.3.1.125

Reaction:
propanoate + NAD⁺ ← acrylate + NADH + H⁺

Enzymes and Genes:
acrylate reductase: ard ( Vibrio harveyi )

Summary:
The enzyme, characterized from the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi, enables the organism to utilize acrylate as the terminal electron acceptor for NADH regeneration under anaerobic conditions.
