In enzymology, 2-coumarate reductase or melilotate dehydrogenase (EC 1.3.1.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

2-hydroxybenzenepropanoic acid
 
 
 
H+
 
H+
 
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are 2-hydroxybenzenepropanoic acid (melilotic acid) and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+). Its products are 2-coumaric acid, reduced NADH, 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-(2-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in phenylalanine metabolism.
