Description

Cinnamyl alcohol dehydrogenase (CAD, EC 1.1.1.195) is an NADP(H) specific oxidoreductase catalysing the reversible conversion of cinnamyl aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols or monolignols (Mansel et al., 1974; Wyrambik and Griesebach, 1975; Boudet et al., 1995). Polymerization of the three monolignols: /?-coumaryl, sinapyl and coniferyl alcohols lead to lignin. The enzyme is closely related to lignification, and chemical inhibition of its activity reduces the synthesis of lignins (Moesbacher et al., 1990; Mauch-Mani and Slusarenko, 1996).

Notes

Involved in lignin biosynthesis. Catalyzes the final step specific for the production of lignin monomers. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of coniferaldehyde, 5-hydroxyconiferaldehyde, sinapaldehyde, 4-coumaraldehyde and caffeyl aldehyde to their respective alcohols
