Name | carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 | Brief Description | carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1 |
TAIR Computational Description | carotenoid cleavage dioxygenase 1;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes a protein with 9-<i>cis</i>-epoxycarotenoid dioxygenase activity. The enzyme was shown to act on a variety of carotenoid including β-carotene, lutein, zeaxanthin, and all-<i>trans</i>-violaxanthin. When those compounds are used as substrates, the major reaction product detected is a C14 dialdehyde: 4,9-dimethyldodeca-2,4,6,8,10-pentaene-1,12-dial. The enzyme did not cleave as efficiently carotenoids containing 9-<i>cis</i>-double or allenic bonds. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
