EC 1.13.11.59 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
1.13.11.59
Accepted name
torulene dioxygenase
Reaction
torulene + O2 = 4′-apo-β,ψ-caroten-4′-al + 3-methylbut-2-enal
Other name(s)
CAO-2,
CarT
Systematic name
torulene:oxygen oxidoreductase
Comment
It is assumed that 3-methylbut-2-enal is formed. The enzyme cannot cleave the saturated 3′,4′-bond of γ-carotene which implies that a 3′,4′-double bond is neccessary for this reaction.
