Species: Rat
Gene Symbol: Bco2
Gene Name: beta-carotene oxygenase 2
Gene ID: 315644
Gene Synonyms: Ab2-079; Bcdo2
ORF Size: 1599 bp
RefSeq#: NM_001127712
Gene Description: Asymmetrically cleaves beta-carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta-apo-10'-carotenal and beta-ionone. Besides beta-carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
