DESCRIPTION

Also known as MDAR3_ORYSJ, MDAR3, MDHAR3. Catalyzes the conversion of monodehydroascorbate to ascorbate, oxidizing NADH in the process. Ascorbate is a major antioxidant against reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) (PubMed:24376554, PubMed:27652777). Can use NADPH as electron donor, but possesses lower activity compared to NADH as electron donor (PubMed:27652777).
