9-cis-beta-carotene 9',10'-cleaving Dioxygenase

9-cis-beta-carotene 9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase (, ''CCD7 (gene)'', ''MAX3 (gene)'', ''NCED7 (gene)'') is an enzyme with systematic name ''9-cis-beta-carotene:O₂ oxidoreductase (9',10'-cleaving)''. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: 9-cis-beta-carotene + O₂ $\rightleftharpoons$ 9-cis-10'-apo-beta-carotenal + beta-ionone

9-cis-beta-carotene 9',10'-cleaving dioxygenase contains Fe²⁺.
