Involvement of chalcone reductase in the soybean isoflavone metabolon: identification of Gm CHR 5, which interacts with 2‐hydroxyisoflavanone synthase
6 Jul 2018
Abstract excerpt
Soybean (Glycine max) 5-deoxyisoflavonoids (daidzein and its conjugates) are precursors of glyceollin phytoalexins. They are also converted to equol by microbes in the human intestine, resulting in health benefits. 5-Deoxyisoflavonoids accumulate in the roots (93% mol/mol of the total root isoflavonoids) and seeds of unstressed soybean plants. Chalcone reductase (CHR) is a key enzyme mediating 5-deoxyisoflavonoid...
