Bco2 - beta-carotene oxygenase 2

Predicted to enable beta-carotene 15,15'-dioxygenase activity and carotenoid dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in isoprenoid metabolic process; regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential; and regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within xanthophyll metabolic process. Predicted to be located in ribosome. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human BCO2 (beta-carotene oxygenase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
