Isopiperitenone Delta-isomerase

In enzymology, an isopiperitenone Delta-isomerase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * isopiperitenone $$\rightleftharpoons$$ piperitenone

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, isopiperitenone, and one product, piperitenone.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases transposing C=C bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is isopiperitenone Delta8-Delta4-isomerase.
