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. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21106934}. |
Subcellular Location | Mitochondrion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21106934}. |
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). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15983114}. |
