In enzymology, a glycerol 2-dehydrogenase (NADP) (EC 1.1.1.156) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

glycerol + NADP {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } glycerone + NADPH + H

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are glycerol and NADP, whereas its 3 products are glycerone, NADPH, and H.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycerol:NADP 2-oxidoreductase (glycerone-forming). Other names in common use include dihydroxyacetone reductase, dihydroxyacetone (reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, phosphate) reductase, dihydroxyacetone reductase (NADPH), DHA oxidoreductase, and glycerol 2-dehydrogenase (NADP). This enzyme participates in glycerolipid metabolism.
