Protein
Probable cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase 8A
Organism
Oryza sativa subsp. japonica
Function
Involved in lignin biosynthesis. 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.
