It catalyzes the NADPH-specific reduction of ketoisovaleric acid to hydroxyisovalerate. However, little is known about the bioinformatics’ data about the 2-Kiv reductase in Fusarium. To date, heterologous production of the gene KivRFp from Fusarium has not been achieved. SN - 1472-6750 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1472-6750-12-55 DO - 10.1186/1472-6750-12-55 ID - Zhang2012 ER -
