Figure 4. BCO2, RDH12, and RETSAT are sufficient to produce dihydrogalloxanthin from zeaxanthin.

Figure 4.

(a) The proposed metabolic pathway for the production of galloxanthin and dihydrogalloxanthin from dietary zeaxanthin. (b–i) Representative chromatograms and UV-Vis absorbance spectra of apocarotenoid products produced by HEK293 cells expressing a control vector, avian BCO2, RDH12, and/or RETSAT enzymes, and supplemented with zeaxanthin.
