In [[enzymology]], a '''2-hexadecenal reductase''' ({{EC number|1.3.1.27}}) is an [[enzyme]] that [[catalysis|catalyzes]] the [[chemical reaction]]

:hexadecanal + NADP<sup>+</sup> <math>\rightleftharpoons</math> 2-trans-hexadecenal + NADPH + H<sup>+</sup>

Thus, the two [[substrate (biochemistry)|substrates]] of this enzyme are [[hexadecanal]] and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADP<sup>+</sup>]], whereas its 3 [[product (chemistry)|products]] are [[2-trans-hexadecenal]], [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADPH]], and [[hydrogen ion|H<sup>+</sup>]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of [[oxidoreductase]]s, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is '''hexadecanal:NADP+ Delta2-oxidoreductase'''. Other names in common use include '''2-alkenal reductase''', and '''hexadecanal: NADP+ oxidoreductase'''.
