Cinnamoyl-CoA reductase 2

UniProtKB accession:  G7JEE5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the latter stages of lignin biosynthesis (PubMed:20876124). Catalyzes one of the last steps of monolignol biosynthesis, the conversion of cinnamoyl-CoAs into their corresponding cinnamaldehydes (PubMed:20876124). Mediates the conversion of caffeoyl-CoA and coumaroyl-CoA to caffaldehyde and coumaraldehyde, respectively (PubMed:20876124). Also active, with a lower efficiency, toward feruloyl-CoA and sinapoyl-CoA (PubMed:20876124). Involved in the production of floral volatile phenylpropanoids in flowers of fragrant cultivars from cinnamic acid, a common precursor with the anthocyanin biosynthesis pathway involved in flower pigmentation (By similarity).
