12-Oxophytodienoate reductase (OPR) is a flavin mononucleotide (FMN)-dependent oxidoreductase in plants that belongs to the family of Old Yellow Enzyme (OYE). It was initially characterized as an enzyme involved in the biosynthesis of the plant hormone jasmonic acid, where it catalyzes the reduction of the cyclic fatty acid derivative 9S,13S-12-oxophytodienoate (9S,13S-OPDA) to 1S,2S-3-oxo-2(2'[Z]-pentenyl)-cyclopentane-1-octanoate. Several isozymes of OPR are now known that show different stereoselectivities with regard to the four stereoisomers of OPDA.
