Metabolite Identification
Common NameQuercetin
DescriptionQuercetin, also known as sophoretin or xanthaurine, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as flavonols. Flavonols are compounds that contain a flavone (2-phenyl-1-benzopyran-4-one) backbone carrying a hydroxyl group at the 3-position. Thus, quercetin is considered to be a flavonoid. Quercetin exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. Based on a literature review a significant number of articles have been published on Quercetin.

Enzyme Details
1. Dehydrogenase/reductase SDR family member 4
General function:
Lipid transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Reduces all-trans-retinal and 9-cis retinal. Can also catalyze the oxidation of all-trans-retinol with NADP as co-factor, but with much lower efficiency. Reduces alkyl phenyl ketones and alpha-dicarbonyl compounds with aromatic rings, such as pyrimidine-4-aldehyde, 3-benzoylpyridine, 4-benzoylpyridine, menadione and 4-hexanoylpyridine. Has no activity towards aliphatic aldehydes and ketones (By similarity).
