Reaction: 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + CoA + NADP+ = sulfoacetyl-CoA + NADPH + H+
Glossary: 2-sulfoacetaldehyde = 2-oxoethanesulfonate
Other name(s): SauS
Systematic name: 2-sulfoacetaldehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase (CoA-acetylating)
Comments: The enzyme is involved in degradation of sulfoacetate. In this pathway the reaction is catalysed in the reverse direction. The enzyme is specific for sulfoacetaldehyde and NADP+.
