Function
Catalyzes the oxidation of carveol to carvone, with a strong stereoselectivity since it efficiently converts only the (6S)-stereoisomers, of which (-)-(4R,6S)-trans-carveol is the better substrate. Displays a broad substrate specificity with a preference for substituted cyclohexanols, and does not catalyze the oxidation of primary or short chain aliphatic secondary alcohols. Is also able, albeit more slowly, to oxidize limonene-1,2-diol into 1-hydroxy-2-oxolimonene.
