ID   1.3.1.105
DE   2-methylene-furan-3-one reductase.
AN   enone oxidoreductase.
CA   4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-furan-3(2H)-one + NADP(+) = 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-2-
CA   methylenefuran-3(2H)-one + H(+) + NADPH.
CC   -!- The enzyme was dicovered in strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa), where
CC       it produces furaneol, one of the major aroma compounds in the fruits.
CC   -!- It has also been detected in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) and
CC       pineapple (Ananas comosus).
CC   -!- The enzyme can also act on derivatives substituted at the methylene
CC       functional group.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae acts on (2E)-2-
CC       ethylidene-4-hydroxy-5-methylfuran-3(2H)-one and produces
CC       homofuraneol, an important aroma compound in soy sauce and miso.
CC   -!- NADPH is the preferred cofactor.
