EC 1.3.1.94     
Accepted name: polyprenol reductase
Reaction: ditrans,polycis-dolichol + NADP+ = ditrans,polycis-polyprenol + NADPH + H+
Other name(s): SRD5A3 (gene name); DFG10 (gene name)
Systematic name: ditrans,polycis-dolichol:NADP+ 2,3-oxidoreductase
Comments: The reaction occurs in the reverse direction with reduction of the terminal double bond next to the alcohol group. Isolated from human fetal brain tissue but present in all eukaryotes. In mammalian cells dolichols are predominantly 18-21 isoprene units in length.
