Gene Details:

• Gene ID: Zm00001eb307060
• Gene Symbol: ZmCCR2 CCR4 cncr2
• Gene Name: cinnamoyl CoA reductase2
• Genome: Zm-B73-REFERENCE-NAM-5.0
• Species: Zea mays

Functional Descriptions:

• ZmCCR2,cinnamoyl-coA reductase (CCR, EC 1.2.1.44) catalyses the first step of the lignin pathway.
• Northern blot analysis indicated that ZmCCR2 was expressed at very low levels in roots whereas ZmCCR1 was widely expressed in different organs.
• ZmCCR1 and ZmCCR2 both contain a common signature which is thought to be involved in the catalytic site of CCR.
