Entry
EC 5.5.1.34                 Enzyme                                 
Name
(+)-cis,trans-nepetalactol synthase;
NEPS1 (gene name);
NEPS2 (gene name)
Class
Isomerases;
Intramolecular lyases;
Intramolecular lyases (only sub-subclass identified to date)
Sysname
(S)-8-oxocitronellyl enol cyclase [(+)-cis,trans-nepetalactol-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
(S)-8-oxocitronellyl enol = (+)-cis,trans-nepetalactol [RN:R12520]
Reaction(KEGG)
R12520
Substrate
(S)-8-oxocitronellyl enol [CPD:C22225]
Product
(+)-cis,trans-nepetalactol [CPD:C09804]
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Nepeta mussinii, binds an NAD+ cofactor. The product is a precursor of (+)-cis,trans-nepetalactone, the primary ingredient responsible for the psychoactive effects catnip has on cats.
