Diapolycopene oxygenase

Diapolycopene oxygenase (, crtP) is an enzyme with systematic name 4,4'-diapolycopene,AH2:oxygen oxidoreductase (4,4'-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

4,4'-diapolycopene + 4 AH<sub>2</sub> + 4 O<sub>2</sub> 4,4'-diapolycopenedial + 4 A + 6 H<sub>2</sub>O

Diapolycopene oxygenase is involved in the biosynthesis of C30 carotenoids such as staphyloxanthin.
