12-oxophytodienoate reductase 1

UniProtKB accession:  Q8LAH7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Specifically cleaves olefinic bonds in alpha,beta-unsaturated carbonyls and may be involved in detoxification or modification of these reactive compounds (PubMed:10872231, PubMed:9346960). May be involved in the biosynthesis or metabolism of oxylipin signaling molecules (Probable). In vitro, reduces 9R,13R-12-oxophytodienoic acid (9R,13R-OPDA) to 9R,13R-OPC-8:0, but only poorly 9S,13S-OPDA, the natural precursor of jasmonic acid (PubMed:10872231). Can detoxify the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT) in vitro and in vivo by catalyzing its nitroreduction to form hydroxylamino-dinitrotoluene (HADNT) (PubMed:19605548).
