(+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase explained

(+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase
Ec Number:1.1.1.208
Cas Number:81811-47-4
Go Code:0047501

In enzymology, a (+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(+)-neomenthol + NADP

\rightleftharpoons

(−)-menthone + NADPH + H

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (+)-neomenthol and NADP, whereas its 3 products are (−)-menthone, NADPH, and H.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (+)-neomenthol:NADP oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called monoterpenoid dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
