Reaction: trans-2,3-didehydroacyl-CoA + NADP+ = trans,trans-2,3,4,5-tetradehydroacyl-CoA + NADPH + H+
Other name(s): 4-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH2); 4-enoyl coenzyme A (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate) reductase; 4-enoyl-CoA reductase; 2,4-dienoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH2)
Systematic name: trans-2,3-didehydroacyl-CoA:NADP+ 4-oxidoreductase
Comments: Best substrates for reduction contain a 2,4-diene structure with a chain-length of 8 or 10
