rac-Vestitone

SKU: orb2815546

Description

Vestitone reductase is an enzyme that stereospecifically reduces (3R)-vestitone to form medicarpin, a key antimicrobial phytoalexin, in an NADPH-dependent reaction. This enzyme is a critical tool for studying isoflavonoid biosynthesis pathways in both in vitro enzymatic assays and in vivo plant metabolic engineering research.
