Type: | Family | Name: | Carotene isomerase |
Description: | Members of this family, including sll0033 (crtH) of Synechocystis sp.(strain PCC 6803), catalyse a cis-trans isomerization of carotenes to the all-trans lycopene, a reaction that can also occur non-enzymatically in light through photoisomerization. | Short Name: | Carotene_isomerase |
