(+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a (+)-neomenthol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * (+)-neomenthol + NADP$+$ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ (−)-menthone + NADPH + H$+$

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (+)-neomenthol and NADP$+$, whereas its 3 products are (−)-menthone, NADPH, and H$+$.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD$+$ or NADP$+$ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (+)-neomenthol:NADP$+$ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called monoterpenoid dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
