ENZYME entry: EC 1.3.99.40
| Accepted Name | |
|---|---|
| carotenoid chi-ring synthase | |
| Reaction catalysed | |
| 2 A + a carotenoid beta-end derivative = a carotenoid chi-end derivative + 2 AH2 | |
| Comment(s) | |
| The enzyme, found in purple sulfur bacteria (Chromatiaceae) and some cyanobacteria, is involved in the biosynthesis of carotenoids that contain chi-type end groups, such as okenone, renierapurpurin, and synechoxanthin. | |
