Other name(s): SfmD; SacD; 3-methyltyrosine peroxidase; 3-methyl-L-tyrosine peroxidase
Systematic name: 3-methyl-L-tyrosine:hydrogen-peroxide oxidoreductase (3-hydroxy-5-methyl-L-tyrosine-forming)
Comments: The heme-containing peroxygenase from the bacterium Streptomyces lavendulae is involved in biosynthesis of saframycin A, a potent antitumor antibiotic that belongs to the tetrahydroisoquinoline family.
