Description
NADH cannot replace NADPH as reductant. The Δ8,9-double bond of (+)-cis-isopulegone and the Δ1,2-double bond of (±)-piperitone are not substrates. The enzyme from peppermint (Mentha x piperita) converts (+)-pulegone into both (-)-menthone and (+)-isomenthone at a ratio of 70:30 for native enzyme but it does not catalyse the reverse reaction. This enzyme is a member of the medium-chain dehydrogenase/reductase superfamily.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Reaction
(1) (-)-menthone + NADP+ = (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+; (2) (+)-isomenthone + NADP+ = (+)-pulegone + NADPH + H+
