Acts on both (+)- and (–)-abscisic aldehyde. Involved in the abscisic-acid biosynthesis pathway in plants, along with EC 1.1.1.288, (xanthoxin dehydrogenase), EC 1.13.11.51 (9-cis-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase) and EC 1.14.14.137 [(+)-abscisic acid 8′-hydroxylase]. While abscisic aldehyde is the best substrate, the enzyme also acts with indole-3-aldehyde, 1-naphthaldehyde and benzaldehyde as substrates, but more slowly [3]. |
