(+)-Menthofuran synthase (EC 1.14.14.143, menthofuran synthase, (+)-pulegone 9-hydroxylase, (+)-MFS, cytochrome P450 menthofuran synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name (+)-pulegone,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (9-hydroxylating).[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

The enzyme is a cytochrome P450 protein containing heme, isolated from peppermint. It requires a partner cytochrome P450 reductase for functional expression. This uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.[2][3]
