Sepiapterin reductase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the SPR gene.[1][2][3]

Sepiapterin reductase (7,8-dihydrobiopterin:NADP+ oxidoreductase; EC 1.1.1.153) catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of various carbonyl substances, including derivatives of pteridines, and belongs to a group of enzymes called aldo-keto reductases. SPR plays an important role in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (see MIM 261640).[supplied by OMIM][3]
