Description
Catalyses the NADPH-dependent reduction of succinyl-CoA to succinate semialdehyde. The enzyme has been described in Clostridium kluyveri, where it participates in succinate fermentation, and in Metallosphaera sedula, where it participates in the 3-hydroxypropanonate/4-hydroxybutanoate cycle, an autotrophic CO2 fixation pathway found in some thermoacidophilic archaea
