Description
Catalyzes the reduction of the 7-8 double bond of phenylpropanal substrates, such as p-coumaryl aldehyde and coniferyl aldehyde (in vitro). Has activity towards toxic substrates, such as 4-hydroxy-(2E)-nonenal (in vitro). May play a distinct role in plant antioxidant defense and is possibly involved in NAD(P)/NAD(P)H homeostasis
