Mycothione reductase (EC 1.8.1.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

mycothione + NAD(P)H + H+ 2 mycothiol + NADP+

in M. tuberculosis and other actinomycetes.

The two substrates of this enzyme are mycothione and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The products are two molecules of mycothiol and one of NADP+.[1][2][3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on a sulfur group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is mycothiol:NAD(P)+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called mycothiol-disulfide reductase.
