Capsanthin/capsorubin synthase

Capsanthin/capsorubin synthase (EC 5.3.99.8, CCS, ketoxanthophyll synthase, capsanthin-capsorubin synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name violaxanthin—capsorubin isomerase (ketone-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) violaxanthin

\rightleftharpoons

capsorubin

(2) antheraxanthin

\rightleftharpoons

capsanthin

This multifunctional enzyme is induced during chromoplast differentiation in plants.
