(−)-Menthol dehydrogenases (EC 1.1.1.207) are a type of enzyme found in mint plants (mentha)[1] that catalyzes the chemical reaction

-menthone.svg)
The two substrates of this enzyme are (−)-menthol and oxidised nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADP+). Its products are (−)-menthone, reduced NADPH, and a proton.[2][3]
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (−)-menthol:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called monoterpenoid dehydrogenase. This enzyme participates in monoterpenoid biosynthesis.
