Accepted name: |
hydroperoxy fatty acid reductase |
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 |
Comments: |
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. |
