EC 1.23.1.3 Details
EC number
1.23.1.3
Accepted name
(–)-pinoresinol reductase
Reaction
(–)-lariciresinol + NADP+ = (–)-pinoresinol + NADPH + H+
Other name(s)
pinoresinol/lariciresinol reductase,
pinoresinol-lariciresinol reductases,
(–)-pinoresinol-(–)-lariciresinol reductase,
PLR
Systematic name
(–)-lariciresinol:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comment
The reaction is catalysed in vivo in the opposite direction to that shown. A multifunctional enzyme that usually further reduces the product to (+)-secoisolariciresinol [EC 1.23.1.4, (–)-lariciresinol reductase]. Isolated from the plants Thuja plicata (western red cedar) [1], Linum perenne (perennial flax) [2] and Arabidopsis thaliana (thale cress) [3].
