The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate, acetoacetate, and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are 2-(2-oxopropylthio)ethanesulfonate, CO₂, and NADPH.

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 2-mercaptoethanesulfonate, acetoacetate:NADP+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). Other names in common use include NADPH:2-(2-ketopropylthio)ethanesulfonate, oxidoreductase/carboxylase, and NADPH:2-ketopropyl-coenzyme M oxidoreductase/carboxylase.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 2C3C and 2C3D.
