| Comment | This enzyme, found in cyanobacteria, reduces a long-chain (mainly C16 or C18) fatty acyl ACP ester to its corresponding fatty aldehyde, releasing the acyl carrier protein (ACP) [1]. NADPH or NADH is the reductant for this reaction. This enzyme may be distantly related to the short-chain dehydrogenase or reductase (SDR) family (PF00106). The purpose of this reaction is in the first step of alkane biosynthesis (GenProp0942). |
