In enzymology a (S)-limonene 7-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.49) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(-)-(S)-limonene + NADPH + H+ + O2 (-)-perillyl alcohol + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are (-)-(S)-limonene NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are (-)-perillyl alcohol 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.
