Apo-beta-carotenoid-14’13’-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.12.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction8′-apo-beta-carotenol + O2 14′-apo-beta-carotenal + H2OThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 8′-apo-beta-carotenol and oxygen whereas its two products are 14′-apo-beta-carotenal and water.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
