Pentalenolactone D synthase

Pentalenolactone D synthase (, penE (gene), pntE (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 1-deoxy-11-oxopentalenate,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase (pentalenolactone-D forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * 1-deoxy-11-oxopentalenate + NADPH + H+ + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pentalenolactone D + NADP+ + H2O

Pentalenolactone D synthase is a FAD-dependent oxygenase.
