1.14.14.53 | (R)-limonene + [reduced NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = (+)-trans-carveol + [oxidized NADPH-hemoprotein reductase] + H2O |
The reaction is stereospecific with over 95% yield of (+)-trans-carveol from (R)-limonene. (S)-Limonene, the substrate for EC 1.14.13.48, (S)-limonene 6-monooxygenase, is not a substrate. Forms part of the carvone biosynthesis pathway in Carum carvi (caraway) seeds |
