Abieta-7,13-dien-18-al dehydrogenase explained

Abieta-7,13-dien-18-al dehydrogenase
Ec Number:1.2.1.74

Abieta-7,13-dien-18-al dehydrogenase (abietadienal dehydrogenase (ambiguous)) is an enzyme with systematic name abieta-7,13-dien-18-al:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

abieta-7,13-dien-18-al + H2O + NAD+

\rightleftharpoons

abieta-7,13-dien-18-oate + NADH + H+

This enzyme catalyses the last step of the pathway of abietic acid biosynthesis in Abies grandis.
