Systematic name
(–)-secoisolariciresinol:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comment
The reaction is catalysed in vivo in the opposite direction to that shown. A multifunctional enzyme that also reduces (+)-pinoresinol [EC 1.23.1.1, (+)-pinoresinol reductase]. Isolated from the plants Forsythia intermedia [1,2], Thuja plicata (western red cedar) [3], Linum perenne (perennial flax) [5] and Linum corymbulosum [6].
