ID   1.2.1.74
DE   abieta-7,13-dien-18-al dehydrogenase.
AN   abietadienal dehydrogenase.
CA   abieta-7,13-dien-18-al + H2O + NAD(+) = abieta-7,13-dien-18-oate + 2 H(+)
CA   + NADH.
CC   -!- Abietic acid is the principle component of conifer resin.
CC   -!- This enzyme catalyzes the last step of the pathway of abietic acid
CC       biosynthesis in Abies grandis (grand fir).
CC   -!- The activity has been demonstrated in cell-free stem extracts of A.
CC       grandis, was present in the cytoplasm, and required NAD(+) as
CC       cofactor.
CC   -!- The enzyme is expressed constitutively at a high level, and is not
CC       inducible by wounding of the plant tissue.
