Cytokinin dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.99.12) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The three substrates of this enzyme are a cytokinin such as N6-isopentenyladenine, an electron acceptor, and water. Its products are adenine, 3-methyl-2-butenal (or other aldehyde in case of different substrates), and the corresponding reduced acceptor.[1][2][3]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N6-dimethylallyladenine:acceptor oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include N6-dimethylallyladenine:(acceptor) oxidoreductase, 6-N-dimethylallyladenine:acceptor oxidoreductase, and cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase abbreviated as CKX.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 6 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1W1O, 1W1Q, 1W1R, 1W1S, 2EXR, and 2Q4W. As of 2026, there have been 18 structures recorded.[4]
