Reaction
a hydroperoxy fatty acid + NADPH + H+ = a hydroxy fatty acid + NADP+ + H2O
Other name(s)
slr1171 (gene name), slr1992 (gene name), hydroperoxy fatty acid:NADPH oxidoreductase
Systematic name
NADPH:hydroperoxy fatty acid oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803, can reduce unsaturated fatty acid hydroperoxides and alkyl hydroperoxides. The enzyme, which utilizes NADPH generated by the photosynthetic electron transfer system, protects the cells from lipid peroxidation.
