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