Description
AI-generatedUnreviewed
The Short-chain Dehydrogenases/Reductases (SDR) family encompasses enzymes that catalyze the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction or oxidation of substrates with diverse functions. Members of the SDR family are involved in the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, such as pigments and mycotoxins, and play roles in plant defense mechanisms by reducing aldehydes derived from lipid peroxidation. They are also implicated in the metabolism of carbohydrates and may participate in signal transduction pathways. The enzymes within the SDR family are characterized by their ability to act on a wide range of substrates, including saturated and alpha,beta-unsaturated aldehydes, ketones, and polyketides, contributing to various biological processes and chemical transformations.
