1.3.1.51

Accepted name:

2′-hydroxydaidzein reductase

Reaction:

2′-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrodaidzein + NADP⁺ = 2′-hydroxydaidzein + NADPH + H⁺

Other name(s):

NADPH:2′-hydroxydaidzein oxidoreductase; HDR; 2′-hydroxydihydrodaidzein:NADP⁺ 2′-oxidoreductase

Systematic name:

2′-hydroxy-2,3-dihydrodaidzein:NADP⁺ 2′-oxidoreductase

Comments:

In the reverse reaction, the 2′-hydroxyisoflavone (2′-hydroxydaidzein) is reduced to an isoflavanone. Also acts on 2′-hydroxyformononetin and to a small extent on 2′-hydroxygenistein. Involved in the biosynthesis of the phytoalexin glyceollin. The isoflavones biochanin A, daidzein and genestein as well as the flavonoids apigenin, kaempferol and quercetin do not act as substrates.
