Summary: Predicted to enable beta-carotene 15,15'-dioxygenase activity and carotenoid dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in carotene catabolic process and retinal metabolic process. Is expressed in intestine. Orthologous to human BCO1 (beta-carotene oxygenase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
