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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21106934}. |RPE65| |beta,beta-carotene-9,10-cleaving oxygenase activity| |beta-carotene 15,15-monooxygenase activity| |carotenoid dioxygenase activity| |xanthophyll metabolic process| |terpene catabolic process| |carotene catabolic process| |carotene metabolic process| |retinal isomerase activity| |tetraterpenoid metabolic process| |carotenoid metabolic process| |terpene metabolic process| |isoprenoid catabolic process| |oxidoreductase activity, acting on single donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen, incorporation of two atoms of oxygen| |retinal metabolic process| |retinoic acid metabolic process| |cellular aldehyde metabolic process| |regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential| |retinoid metabolic process| |diterpenoid metabolic process| |terpenoid metabolic process| |cellular hormone metabolic process| |isoprenoid metabolic process| |regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process| |cellular lipid catabolic process| |hormone metabolic process| |lipid catabolic process| |mitochondrial matrix| |regulation of membrane potential| |monocarboxylic acid metabolic process| |regulation of hormone levels| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |cellular lipid metabolic process| |oxidation-reduction process| |oxoacid metabolic process| |organic acid metabolic process| |lipid metabolic process| |mitochondrion| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp159|Docetaxel 0.001 to 0.002μM on day4 R04 exp159]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp359|FK-506 30μM R07 exp359]]|-1.7| |[[:results:exp512|Olaparib 4μM R08 exp512]]|1.7| |[[:results:exp37|Wortmannin 0.5μM R00 exp37]]|1.7| |[[:results:exp141|Nifurtimox 1μM R03 exp141]]|1.82| |[[:results:exp35|TRAIL 5ng/ml R00 exp35]]|1.84| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
