Carveol dehydrogenase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a carveol dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(-)-trans-carveol + NADP⁺ $\rightleftharpoons$ (-)-carvone + NADPH + H⁺

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (-)-trans-carveol and NADP⁺, whereas its 3 products are (-)-carvone, NADPH, and H⁺.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (-)-trans-carveol:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called (-)-trans-carveol dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis and limonene and pinene degradation.
