Target Details for BCO2

Target: BCO2 (beta-Carotene Oxygenase 2 (BCO2))

Alternative Name: BCO2

Background:

Synonyms: Carotenoid-cleaving dioxygenase, mitochondrial|B-diox-II|Beta,beta-carotene 9',10'-oxygenase|Beta-carotene dioxygenase 2|BCO2|BCDO2

Background: Asymmetrically cleaves beta-carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta-apo-10'-carotenal and beta-ionone. Besides beta-carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
