metabolism
core photorespiration pathway and the putative photorespiration glycolaldehyde shunt involving the aldehydehydrogenase, comparisons, overview
physiological function
the enzyme catalyzes the glycolaldehyde shunt in cells. It is a ALDHs as a non-redundant source of reducing power for nitrate assimilation. NAD(P)H-derived from the ALDH activity might partly support nitrate assimilation
