EC 1.14.14.52 Details
EC number
1.14.14.52
Accepted name
(S)-limonene 7-monooxygenase
Reaction
(S)-limonene + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = (–)-perillyl alcohol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
Other name(s)
(–)-limonene 7-monooxygenase, (–)-limonene hydroxylase, (–)-limonene monooxygenase, (–)-limonene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating)
Systematic name
(S)-limonene,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating)
CAS registry number
122653-75-2
Comment
A cytochrome P-450 (heme thiolate) enzyme. The enzyme, characterized from the plant Perilla frutescens, participates in the biosynthesis of perillyl aldehyde, the major constituent of the essential oil that accumulates in the glandular trichomes of this plant. Some forms of the enzyme also catalyse the oxidation of (–)-perillyl alcohol to (–)-perillyl aldehyde.
History
created 1992 as EC 1.14.13.49, modified 2003, transferred 2017 to EC 1.14.14.52
