Purification and properties of carotene 15,15′-dioxygenase of rabbit intestine
Carotene 15,15′-dioxygenase, which oxidizes carotenoids to retinal, has been purified up to 200-fold from rabbit intestine by ammonium sulfate fractionation, heat treatment, and acetone precipitation. With β-apo-10′-carotenol as the substrate, the purified enzyme has a pH optimum of 7.8, a Km, of 6....
