Isolated from the plants Catharanthus roseus, Olea europaea (common olive), and several Nepeta species. The enzyme reduces 8-oxogeranial, generating an unstable product that is subsequently cyclized into several possible products, either non-enzymically or by dedicated cyclases. The products, known as iridoids, are involved in the biosynthesis of many indole alkaloids. cf. EC 1.3.1.123, 7-epi-iridoid synthase.
