   1.17.1.3 | physiological function |
leucoanthocyanidin reductase converts leucoanthocyanidin to (+)-catechin, a precursor of proanthocyanidins abundant in Japanese persimmon fruits |

| 1.17.1.3 | physiological function |
leucoanthocyanidin reductase catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of 2R,3S,4S-flavan-3,4-diols into 2R,3S-flavan-3-ols, a subfamily of flavonoids that is important for plant survival and for human nutrition |
715907 |
| 1.17.1.3 | metabolism |
leucoanthocyanidin reductase and anthocyanidin reductase are involved in biosynthesis of proanthocyanidins or condensed tannins by producing (+)-catechin and (-)-epicatechin, respectively, from leukoanthocyanidin |

| 1.17.1.3 | malfunction |
ectopic expression of PtrLAR1 in poplar positively regulates the biosynthesis of proanthocyanidin, whereas the accumulation of anthocyanin and flavonol is significantly reduced in all transgenic plants compared to the control plants |

| 1.17.1.3 | malfunction |
transgenic tobacco overexpressing TcLAR have decreased amounts of anthocyanidins and increased proanthocyanidins. Overexpressing TcLAR in Arabidopsis ldox mutant also results in elevated synthesis of not only catechin but also epicatechin |

| 1.17.1.3 | malfunction |
overexpression of PtrLAR3 in Chinese white poplar (Populus tomentosa Carr.) leads to a significant plant-wide increase in proanthocyanidin levels. In vitro assays show that crude leaf extracts from 35S:PtrLAR3 transformants are able to inhibit significantly the hyphal growth of Marssonina brunnea f.sp.multigerm tubi compared to the extracts from control plants. The transgenic 35S:PtrLAR3 poplar plants display a significant reduction in their disease symptoms compared with the control |
728054 |
| 1.17.1.3 | metabolism |
the enzyme is involved in the flavan-3-ol/anthocyanin biosynthetic pathway. Leucoanthocyanidin reductase (LAR) and anthocyanidin reductase (ANR, EC 1.3.1.77) catalyze the formation of catechins and epicatechins from leucoanthocyanidins and anthocyanidins, respectively, overview |
