Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction in which NADH or NADPH acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and reduces a hydrogen or electron acceptor. Catalysis of the reaction: ring opening and carboxylation of an epoxide; the reaction requires CO2 as a cosubstrate and forms a beta-keto acid as a products. An example of such a reaction is: epoxypropane + CO2 + NAD+ + NADPH = acetoacetate + NADH + NADP+. Catalysis of an oxidation-reduction (redox) reaction, a reversible chemical reaction in which the oxidation state of an atom or atoms within a molecule is altered. One substrate acts as a hydrogen or electron donor and becomes oxidized, while the other acts as hydrogen or electron acceptor and becomes reduced.
