Accepted Name
capsanthin/capsorubin synthase
Alternative Name(s)
capsanthin-capsorubin synthase
CCS
ketoxanthophyll synthase
Reaction catalysed
  • all-trans-violaxanthin <=> all-trans-capsorubin
  • all-trans-antheraxanthin <=> all-trans-capsanthin
Comment(s)
  • Induced during chromoplast differentiation in plants.
  • Isomerization of the epoxide ring of violaxanthin gives the cyclopentyl-ketone of capsorubin or capsanthin.
