ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.143

Accepted Name
(+)-menthofuran synthase
Alternative Name(s)
(+)-MFS
(+)-pulegone 9-hydroxylase
menthofuran synthase
Reaction catalysed
(R)-pulegone + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] <=> (R)-menthofuran + H(+) + 2 H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]
Comment(s)
  • A cytochrome P450 (heme-thiolate) protein.
  • The conversion of substrate into product involves the hydroxylation of the syn-methyl (C9), intramolecular cyclization to the hemiketal and dehydration to the furan.
  • This is the second cytochrome P450-mediated step of monoterpene metabolism in peppermint, with the other step being catalyzed by EC 1.14.14.99.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.13.104.
