(+)-Menthofuran synthase

(+)-Menthofuran synthase (, menthofuran synthase, (+)-pulegone 9-hydroxylase, (+)-MFS, cytochrome P450 menthofuran synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name (+)-pulegone,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (9-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+ + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (+)-menthofuran + NADP+ + H2O

Menthofuran synthase is a heme-thiolate protein (P-450).
