Description | Protochlorophyllide (Pchlide) reductases act in chlorophyll biosynthesis. There are distinct enzymes that catalyze Pchlide reduction in light or dark conditions [ ]. This family contains the light-dependent, NADPH-dependent form of protochlorophyllide reductase () which catalyses the reaction chlorophyllide A + NADP+ = protochlorophyllide + NADPH.The enzyme belongs to the short chain alcohol dehydrogenase family (SDR). | Name | Protochlorophyllide reductase |
Short Name | Prochl_reduct | Type | Family |
