(+)-Pulegone reductase

(+)-pulegone reductase () is an enzyme with systematic name (−)-menthone:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalises the following chemical reaction

This enzyme, from peppermint converts (+)-pulegone to a mixture of (–)-menthone and (+)-isomenthone using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as its cofactor. It does not act in the opposite direction
