In enzymology a (S)-limonene 6-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.48) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(-)-(S)-limonene + NADPH + H+ + O2 (-)-trans-carveol + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are (-)-(S)-limonene NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are (-)-trans-carveol NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
