Capsanthin/capsorubin synthase

Template:Infobox enzyme Capsanthin/capsorubin synthase (Template:EnzExplorer, CCS, ketoxanthophyll synthase, capsanthin-capsorubin synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name violaxanthin—capsorubin isomerase (ketone-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) violaxanthin $\rightleftharpoons$ capsorubin

(2) antheraxanthin $\rightleftharpoons$ capsanthin

This multifunctional enzyme is induced during chromoplast differentiation in plants.
