Enzymes

General function:
Secondary metabolites biosynthesis, transport and catabolism
Specific function:
Asymmetrically cleaves beta-carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta-apo-10'-carotenal and beta-ionone. Besides beta-carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
Gene Name:
BCO2
Uniprot ID:
Q9BYV7
Molecular weight:
61509.65
Reactions
beta-Carotene + Oxygen → all-trans-10'-apo-beta-carotenal + beta-Iononedetails
