EC 1.3.1.75 Details
EC number
1.3.1.75
Accepted name
3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase (NADPH)
Reaction
protochlorophyllide a + NADP+ = 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a + NADPH + H+
Other name(s)
DVR (gene name), bciA (gene name), [4-vinyl]chlorophyllide a reductase, 4VCR, chlorophyllide-a:NADP+ oxidoreductase, divinyl chlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase, plant-type divinyl chlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase
Systematic name
protochlorophyllide-a:NADP+ C-81-oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme, found in higher plants, green algae, and some phototrophic bacteria, is involved in the production of monovinyl versions of (bacterio)chlorophyll pigments from their divinyl precursors. It can also act on 3,8-divinyl chlorophyllide a. cf. EC 1.3.7.13, 3,8-divinyl protochlorophyllide a 8-vinyl-reductase (ferredoxin).
