Protein Domain : Beta-carotene 15,15'-monooxygenase, Brp/Blh family IPR022270

Type  Family
Description  This prokaryotic integral membrane protein family includes Brp (bacterio-opsin related protein) and Blh (Brp-like protein). Bacteriorhodopsin is a light-driven proton pump consisting of the membrane apoprotein bacterioopsin and a covalently bound retinal cofactor that appears to be derived of beta-carotene. Blh has been shown to cleave beta-carotene [ ] to produce two all-trans retinal molecules. It has been suggested that Brp and Blh are similar proteins that catalyze or regulate the conversion of beta-carotene to retinal []. Mammalian enzymes with similar enzymatic function are not multiple membrane spanning proteins and are not homologous.
