Berberine reductase (EC 1.5.1.31) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

+ 2 NADP+
 
 
 
2 H+
 
2 H+
 
+ 2 NADPH
 

The two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-canadine and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are berberine, reduced NADPH, and two protons.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-tetrahydroberberine:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called (R)-canadine synthase.
