Beta-carotene isomerase

Beta-carotene isomerase (, DWARF27 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name beta-carotene 9-cis-all-trans isomerase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * all-trans-beta-carotene $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 9-cis-beta-carotene

The enzyme participates in a pathway leading to biosynthesis of strigolactones.
