CAD5

Gene

CAD5

Protein

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 5

Organism

Arabidopsis thaliana

Length

357 amino acids

Function

Involved in lignin biosynthesis in the floral stem. Catalyzes the final step specific for the production of lignin monomers. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of coniferaldehyde, 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde, sinapaldehyde, 4-coumaraldehyde and caffeyl aldehyde to their respective alcohols.

Similarity

Belongs to the zinc-containing alcohol dehydrogenase family.
