NAME        Latia-luciferin monooxygenase (demethylating)
CLASS       Oxidoreductases
            Acting on paired donors with incorporation of molecular oxygen
            Miscellaneous
SYSNAME     Latia-luciferin, hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase
            $ (demethylating)

COMMENT     A flavoprotein.  Latia luciferin is (E)-2-methyl-4-(2,6,6-
            -trimethyl-1-cyclohex-1-yl)-1-buten-1-ol formate.  The reaction
            possibly involves two enzymes, an oxygenase followed by a
            monooxygenase for the actual light-emitting step.
