Capsanthin/capsorubin synthase
Capsanthin/capsorubin synthase (EC 5.3.99.8, CCS, ketoxanthophyll synthase, capsanthin-capsorubin synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name violaxanthin—capsorubin isomerase (ketone-forming).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) violaxanthin capsorubin
- (2) antheraxanthin capsanthin
This multifunctional enzyme is induced during chromoplast differentiation in plants.
