Alpha-pinene monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.155) is an enzyme with systematic name (-)-alpha-pinene,NADH:oxygen oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (-)-alpha-pinene + NADH + H+ + O2 alpha-pinene oxide + NAD+ + H2O
Alpha-pinene monooxygenase takes part in catabolism of alpha-pinene.
