Reaction: propanoate + NAD+ = acrylate + NADH + H+
Other name(s): ard (gene name); NADH:acrylate oxidoreductase
Systematic name: propanoate:NAD+ oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the marine bacterium Vibrio harveyi, enables the organism to utilize acrylate as the terminal electron acceptor for NADH regeneration under anaerobic conditions.
