| Ec Number: | 5.2.1.13 |
Prolycopene isomerase (CRTISO, carotene cis-trans isomerase, ZEBRA2 (gene), carotene isomerase, carotenoid isomerase) is an enzyme with systematic name 7,9,7',9'-tetracis-lycopene cis-trans-isomerase.[1] [2] [3] [4] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
7,9,7',9'-tetracis-lycopene
all-trans-lycopene
This enzyme is involved in carotenoid biosynthesis.
