Function | Catalyzes the reduction of fatty acyl-CoA to fatty alcohols. The preferred substrates are C24:0 and C26:0. May be unable to use saturated and monounsaturated C16 and C18 acyl-CoA as substrates. Involved in cuticular wax formation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16980563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19062129}. |
Subcellular Location | Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000305|PubMed:16980563}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in leaves, stems, flowers, siliques and roots. Detected in epidermal cells of leaves and stems, in trichomes and in the elongation zone of young roots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16980563}. |
Top Pathways | Peroxisome, Cutin, suberine and wax biosynthesis |
