metabolism
physiological function
the enzyme initiates the biogenesis of apocarotenoids by cleaving zeaxanthin, zeaxanthin is the precursor for biosynthesis of apocarotenoids, i.e. crocin, safranal and picrocrocin
-
ZCD initiates the biogenesis of crocetin glycosides, picrocrocin, and safranal
metabolism
-
the enzyme cleaves zeaxanthin at the 7, 8 and 7',8' double bonds to generate intermediates prerequisite for the biosynthesis of safranal and crocin
