EC 1.13.12.12 Details
EC number
1.13.12.12
Accepted name
apo-β-carotenoid-14′,13′-dioxygenase
Reaction
8′-apo-β-carotenol + O2 = 14′-apo-β-carotenal + 7-hydroxy-6-methylhepta-3,5-dienal
Systematic name
8′-apo-β-carotenol:O2 oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
198028-39-6
Comment
A thiol-dependent enzyme. Unlike EC 1.14.99.36, β-carotene-15,15′-monooxygenase, it is not active towards β-carotene. Presumably, 2-methyl-6-oxohepta-2,4-dienal is also formed in this reaction.
