Torulene dioxygenase

FieldValue
NameTorulene dioxygenase
EC_number1.13.11.59

Torulene dioxygenase (, CAO-2, CarT) is an enzyme with systematic name torulene:oxygen oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: torulene + O2 \rightleftharpoons 4'-apo-beta, psi-caroten-4'-al + 3-methylbut-2-enal

It is assumed that 3-methylbut-2-enal is formed.
