NCBI Protein Information
NAD(P)-binding Rossmann-fold superfamily protein
NCBI Summary
ChlADR is an aldehyde reductase that catalyzes the reduction of the aldehyde carbonyl groups on saturated and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with more than 5 carbons in vitro. The N-terminal region of this protein directs GFP to the chloroplast where where ChlADR likely helps to maintain the photosynthetic process by detoxifying reactive carbonyls formed during lipid peroxidation. In addition, this enzyme can also reduce cis-3-hexenal, a major plant volatile compound that contributes to green leaf odor, as well as methylglyoxal in vitro.

UniProt Comments
Aldehyde reductase that catalyzes the reduction of the aldehyde carbonyl groups on saturated and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes with more than 5 carbons (PubMed:21169366). No activity on alpha,beta-unsaturated ketones (PubMed:21169366). Can use propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, methylglyoxal, (e)-2-pentenal, (E)-2-hexenal, (Z)-3-hexenal and (E)-2-nonenal as substrates, but not propenal (acrolein), crotonaldehyde, 2-butanone, 3-buten-2-one or 1-penten-3-one (PubMed:21169366). May act as a short alcohol-polyol-sugar dehydrogenase possibly related to carbohydrate metabolism and the acquisition of desiccation tolerance . May also be involved in signal transduction .
