Sysname
violaxanthin---capsorubin isomerase (ketone-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) violaxanthin = capsorubin [RN:
R07320 ];
(2) antheraxanthin = capsanthin [RN:
R07321 ]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
Product
Comment
This multifunctional enzyme is induced during chromoplast differentiation in plants [1]. Isomerization of the epoxide ring of violaxanthin gives the cyclopentyl-ketone of capsorubin or capsanthin.
