Name | Chloroplastic aldo-keto reductase | Brief Description | NAD(P)-linked oxidoreductase superfamily protein |
TAIR Computational Description | NAD(P)-linked oxidoreductase superfamily protein;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an NADPH-dependent aldo-keto reductase that can act on a wide variety of substrates in vitro including saturated and unsaturated aldehydes, steroids, and sugars. GFP-tagged AKR4C9 localizes to the chloroplast where it may play a role in detoxifying reactive carbonyl compounds that threaten to impair the photosynthetic process. Transcript levels for this gene are up-regulated in response to cold, salt, and drought stress. |
