Sepiapterin reductase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SPR gene.[5][6][7]

Function

Sepiapterin reductase (7,8-dihydrobiopterin:NADP+ oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.153) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of various carbonyl substances, including derivatives of pteridines, and belongs to a group of enzymes called aldo-keto reductases. SPR plays an important role in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin.[7]

Sepiapterin reductase (SPR) catalyzes the chemical reaction

L-erythro-7,8-dihydrobiopterin + NADP+ sepiapterin + NADPH + H+

Thus, the two

NADP+, whereas its three products are sepiapterin, NADPH, and a single hydrogen ion
(H+).

This enzyme belongs to the

folate biosynthesis
.

Clinical significance

Mutations of the SPR gene may cause

hypersomnolence, oculomotor apraxia, and weakness.[9] Response to treatment is variable and the long-term and functional outcome is unknown. To provide a basis for improving the understanding of the epidemiology, genotype/phenotype correlation and outcome of these diseases their impact on the quality of life of patients, and for evaluating diagnostic and therapeutic strategies a patient registry was established by the noncommercial International Working Group on Neurotransmitter Related Disorders (iNTD).[10]
