(+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase

Template:Short description Template:One source Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a (+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(+)-neomenthol + NADPTemplate:Sup $\rightleftharpoons$ (−)-menthone + NADPH + HTemplate:Sup

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (+)-neomenthol and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADPTemplate:Sup]], whereas its 3 products are (−)-menthone, NADPH, and [[hydrogen ion|HTemplate:Sup]].

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