TAIR Curator Summary | AOR is an alkenal/one oxidoreductase that acts on compounds with unsaturated alpha,beta-carbonyls. The activity of this enzyme with a number of substrates, including acrolein and 3-buten-2-one, was demonstrated in vitro using a truncated form of the protein that lacked approximately 80 of the first amino acids. This protein appears to localize to the chloroplast where it likely helps to maintain the photosynthetic process by detoxifying reactive carbonyls formed during lipid peroxidation. |
