2-hydroxy-4-carboxymuconate semialdehyde hemiacetal dehydrogenase (EC1.1.1.312, 2-hydroxy-4-carboxymuconate 6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 4-carboxy-2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconate-6-semialdehyde:NADP oxidoreductase, alpha-hydroxy-gamma-carboxymuconic epsilon-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, LigC, ProD) is an enzyme with systematic name4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde hemiacetal:NADP 2-oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde hemiacetal + NADP 2-oxo-2H-pyran-4,6-dicarboxylate + NADPH + H
