(−)-menthol dehydrogenase

Class of enzymes (−)-menthol dehydrogenase 1.1.1.207 81811-46-3 0047504 (−)-Menthol dehydrogenase (1.1.1.207) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction 40% menthol (-)-menthol 1.3 + NADP+ reversible H+ H+ Q424902 (-)-menthone + NADPH The two substrates of this enzyme are (−)-menthol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are (−)-menthone, reduced NADPH, and a proton.1.1.1.207 Kjonaas R, Martinkus-Taylor C, Croteau R Metabolism of Monoterpenes: Conversion of l-Menthone to l-Menthol and d-Neomenthol by Stereospecific Dehydrogenases from Peppermint (Mentha piperita) Leaves Plant Physiology 69 5 1013–7 May 1982 16662335 426349 10.1104/pp.69.5.1013 4267341 This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (−)-menthol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called monoterpenoid dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
