(S)-limonene 7-monooxygenase

Class of enzymes (S)-limonene 7-monooxygenase 1.14.14.52 122653-75-2 0018676 (S)-limonene 7-monooxygenase (1.14.14.52) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 50% Q27089405 (S)-limonene + NADPH + H+ O2 H2O Q105177714 (–)-perillyl alcohol + NADP+ The four substrates of this enzyme are (−)-(S)-limonene, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are (−)-perillyl alcohol, oxidised NADP+, and water.1.14.14.52Karp F, Mihaliak CA, Harris JL, Croteau R 1990 Monoterpene biosynthesis: specificity of the hydroxylations of (−)-limonene by enzyme preparations from peppermint (Mentha piperita), spearmint (Mentha spicata), and perilla (Perilla frutescens) leaves Arch. Biochem. Biophys. 276 219–26 2297225 10.1016/0003-9861(90)90029-X 1 This enzyme is a cytochrome P450 protein containing heme. This oxidoreductase, which uses molecular oxygen as oxidant is in a group with systematic name (S)-limonene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include (−)-limonene 7-monooxygenase, (−)-limonene hydroxylase, (−)-limonene monooxygenase, and (−)-limonene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating). In Perilla frutescens it is part of the biosynthetic pathway to perillaldehyde.
