NCBI Protein Information
aldehyde oxidase 2
NCBI Summary
Encodes an aldehyde oxidase. AAO2 does not appear to act on abscisic aldehyde in vitro but it is possible that it may function in abscisic acid biosynthesis when the activity of At2g27150 (AAO3), the primary abscisic aldehyde oxidase, is lost.

UniProt Comments
In higher plant aldehyde oxidases (AO) appear to be homo- and heterodimeric assemblies of AO subunits with probably different physiological functions. In vitro, AO-gamma uses heptaldehyde, benzaldehyde, naphthaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde as substrates; AO-beta uses indole-3-acetaldehyde (IAAld), indole-3-aldehyde (IAld) and naphtaldehyde; the AAO2-AAO3 dimer uses abscisic aldehyde.
