EC 1.14.13.80 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
1.14.13.80
Accepted name
(R)-limonene 6-monooxygenase
Reaction
(R)-limonene + NADPH + H+ + O2 = (+)-trans-carveol + NADP+ + H2O
Other name(s)
(+)-limonene-6-hydroxylase,
(+)-limonene 6-monooxygenase
Systematic name
(R)-limonene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating)
CAS registry number
221461-49-0
Comment
The reaction is stereospecific with over 95% yield of (+)-trans-carveol from (R)-limonene. (S)-Limonene, the substrate for EC 1.14.13.48, (S)-limonene 6-monooxygenase, is not a substrate. Forms part of the carvone biosynthesis pathway in Carum carvi (caraway) seeds.
