EC 1.3.1.81 Details
EC number
1.3.1.81
Accepted name
(+)-pulegone reductase
Reaction
(1) (–)-menthone + NADP+ = (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+;;(2) (+)-isomenthone + NADP+ = (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+
Systematic name
(–)-menthone:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comment
NADH cannot replace NADPH as reductant. The Δ8,9-double bond of (+)-cis-isopulegone and the Δ1,2-double bond of (±)-piperitone are not substrates. The enzyme from peppermint (Mentha × piperita) converts (+)-pulegone into both (–)-menthone and (+)-isomenthone at a ratio of 70:30 for native enzyme but it does not catalyse the reverse reaction. This enzyme is a member of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily.
