Field	Value
Name	Carotenoid-9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase
EC_number	1.13.11.71

Carotenoid-9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase (, BCO2 (gene), beta-carotene 9',10'-monooxygenase (misleading)) is an enzyme with systematic name all-trans-beta-carotene:O2 oxidoreductase (9',10'-cleaving). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: all-trans-beta-carotene + O2 \rightleftharpoons all-trans-10'-apo-beta-carotenal + beta-ionone

Carotenoid-9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase contains Fe2+.
