Beta-apo-4'-carotenal oxygenase
Beta-apo-4'-carotenal oxygenase (EC 1.2.1.82, beta-apo-4'-carotenal dehydrogenase, YLO-1, carD (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 4'-apo-beta,psi-carotenal:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
- 4'-apo-beta, psi-caroten-4'-al + NAD+ + H2O neurosporaxanthin + NADH + 2 H+
