Fumarate reductase (NADH)

succinate + NAD⁺ $rightleftharpoons$ fumarate + NADH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are succinate and NAD⁺, whereas its 3 products are fumarate, NADH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is succinate:NAD+ oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include NADH-fumarate reductase, NADH-dependent fumarate reductase, and fumarate reductase (NADH).
