Flavanone 4-reductase

Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.1 Acting on the CH-OH group of donors > 1.1.1 With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor > 1.1.1.234 flavanone 4-reductase
Flavanone 4-reductase is involved in the biosynthesis of 3-deoxyanthocyanidins from flavanones such as naringenin or eriodictyol. Written oxidatively, it converts a (2S)-flavan-4-ol to a (2S)-flavanone, concomitantly reducing NADP+ to NADPH and releasing H+. It occurs in viruses and cellular organisms.
