A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. The conversion of substrate into product involves the hydroxylation of the syn-methyl (C9), intramolecular cyclization to the hemiketal and dehydration to the furan . This is the second cytochrome P-450-mediated step of monoterpene metabolism in peppermint, with the other step being catalysed by EC 1.14.14.99, (S)-limonene 3-monooxygenase .

regulation of pulegone metabolism involves menthofuran, the flux of (+)-pulegone through pulegone reductase correlates negatively with the essential oil content of menthofuran, such that menthofuran, and pulegone increase, or decrease, in concert, overview, although (+)-menthofuran does not inhibit (+)-pulegone reductase activity, stem feeding with menthofuran selectively decreases enzyme transcript levels in immature leaves, thereby accounting for decreased reductase activity and increased pulegone content, overview

Trichoderma viride Tv-1511-inoculated peppermint produces higher concentrations of menthone, menthol, and pulegone and lower concentrations of menthofuran than uninoculated seedlings. In T. viride Tv-1511-incubated peppermint, pretreatment with MAPK inhibitor PD98059 results in the marked increase in the transcript of menthofuran synthase
expression of a homologous antisense version of the menthofuran synthase cDNA, both driven by the CaMV 35S promoter, in Mentha x piperita plants leads to altered essential oil composition very similar in composition to the DXR46 plant transformed with the sense version of the reductoisomerase, overview
hybrid cross-breading of menthofuran-rich Mentha piperita cv. Kukrail with Mentha arvensis cv. Kosi, which does not produce menthofuran, leads to plants with altered oil quality, chemoprofiling of essential oil, altered phenotype of genotype CIMAP-Patra, overview
