Structural highlights

Function

PCBER_PINTA Oxidoreductase involved in lignan biosynthesis. Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of phenylcoumaran benzylic ethers. Converts dehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DDC) to isodihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (IDDDC), and dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (DDDC) to tetrahydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (TDDC).^{[1] [2]}
