FAMILY

NADH:flavin oxidoreductase/NADH oxidase family

DESCRIPTION

Also known as DBR2_ARTAN, DBR2, AAR. Involved in the biosynthesis of the antimalarial endoperoxide artemisinin (PubMed:18495659, PubMed:27488942). Catalyzes the double bond reduction of artemisinic aldehyde to produce (11R)-dihydroartemisinic aldehyde (PubMed:18495659). Also able to reduce 2-cyclohexen-1-one into cyclohexanone to a lesser extent (PubMed:18495659).
