Accepted name: | capsanthin/capsorubin synthase | ||||||
Reaction: | (1) violaxanthin = capsorubin (2) antheraxanthin = capsanthin |

Other name(s): | CCS; ketoxanthophyll synthase; capsanthin-capsorubin synthase | ||||||
Systematic name: | violaxanthin—capsorubin isomerase (ketone-forming) | ||||||
Comments: | This multifunctional enzyme is induced during chromoplast differentiation in plants [1]. Isomerization of the epoxide ring of violaxanthin gives the cyclopentyl-ketone of capsorubin or capsanthin. | ||||||
