The aldehyde reductase enzyme is a phenylacetaldehyde reductase (PAR), where the PAR comprises an amino acid sequence that is at least 80-99% identical to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 313, sequence not defined here may be found at ftp://ftp.wipo.int/pub/published_pct_sequences/publication.
