Target Species
Human
Target Name
BCO2
Target Full Name
Carotenoid-cleaving dioxygenase, mitochondrial
Target Function
Asymmetrically cleaves beta-carotene at the 9',10' double bond resulting in the formation of beta-apo-10'-carotenal and beta-ionone. Besides beta-carotene, lycopene is also oxidatively cleaved. The apocarotenals formed by this enzyme may be the precursors for the biosynthesis of retinoic acid or exert unknown physiological effects.
Target Subcellular Location
Mitochondrion.
Target Protein Families
Carotenoid oxygenase family
Target Tissue Specificity
Highly expressed in retinal pigment epithelium. Also expressed in stomach, small intestine, liver, testis, kidney, adrenal gland, pancreas, heart, skeletal muscle and prostate (at protein level).
Target Synonyms
B-diox-II; BCDO2_HUMAN; Bco2; Beta,beta-carotene 9',10'-oxygenase; Beta-carotene dioxygenase 2
Target Background
This gene encodes an enzyme which oxidizes carotenoids such as beta-carotene during the biosynthesis of vitamin A. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
