Systematic name: |
geraniol:NADP+ oxidoreductase |
Comments: |
Also acts, more slowly on farnesol but not on nerol. The enzyme produces a mixture known as citral, which includes geranial and neral. It is still not known whether neral is produced directly by the enzyme, or by isomerization of geranial. |
