- (-)-menthol + NADP+ (-)-menthone + NADPH + H+
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (-)-menthol and NADP+, whereas its 3 products are (-)-menthone, NADPH, and H+.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (-)-menthol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called monoterpenoid dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
