8'-apo-beta-carotenol + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ 14'-apo-beta-carotenal + uncharacterized product

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 8'-apo-beta-carotenol and oxygen, whereas its two products are 14'-apo-beta-carotenal and an uncharacterized product that may be (3E,5E)-7-hydroxy-6-methylhepta-3,5-dien-2-one.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on single donors with O₂ as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases). The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O with incorporation of one atom of oxygen (internal monooxygenases o internal mixed-function oxidases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is 8'-apo-beta-carotenol:O2 oxidoreductase.
