KEGG   ENZYME: 1.3.1.81
Entry
EC 1.3.1.81                 Enzyme                                 
Name
(+)-pulegone reductase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-CH group of donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
Sysname
(-)-menthone:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) (-)-menthone + NADP+ = (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+ [RN:R06419];
(2) (+)-isomenthone + NADP+ = (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+ [RN:R06420]
Reaction(KEGG)
R06419 R06420
Substrate
(-)-menthone [CPD:C00843];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006];
(+)-isomenthone [CPD:C11952]
Product
(+)-pulegone [CPD:C09893];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Comment
NADH cannot replace NADPH as reductant. The Delta8,9-double bond of (+)-cis-isopulegone and the Delta1,2-double bond of (+/-)-piperitone are not substrates. The enzyme from peppermint (Mentha x 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.
