Welcome to OPR !

The 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid reductases (OPRs) belong to the old yellow enzyme (OYE) family, which are categorized as flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent oxidoreductases. OPRs are the key enzyme to catalyze the conversion from OPDA to 12-oxo-phytodienoic acid (OPC-8:0), a reaction that is a key process of JA biosynthesis. In plants, jasmonic acid (JA) is a lipid-derived signaling phytohormone and activates defense against various stresses, such as insects, pathogen, salt, temperature, and wounding.
