Violaxanthin de-epoxidase (EC 1.10.99.3, VDE) is an enzyme with systematic name violaxanthin:ascorbate oxidoreductase.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

violaxanthin + 2 L-ascorbate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] zeaxanthin + 2 L-dehydroascorbate + 2 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) violaxanthin + L-ascorbate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] antheraxanthin + L-dehydroascorbate + H2O
(1b) antheraxanthin + L-ascorbate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] zeaxanthin + L-dehydroascorbate + H2O

Violaxanthin de-epoxidase is a part of the xanthophyll (or violaxanthin) cycle for controlling the concentration of zeaxanthin in chloroplasts.
