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.
