1.14.14.130 |
| Accepted name: |
laurate 7-monooxygenase |
| Reaction: |
dodecanoate + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 7-hydroxydodecanoate + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O |
| Glossary: |
laurate = dodecanoate |
| Other name(s): |
CYP703A2 (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
dodecanoate,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (7-hydroxylating) |
| Comments: |
A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein found in plants. The enzyme is involved in the synthesis of sporopollenin - a complex polymer found at the outer layer of spores and pollen. It can also act on decanoate (C10), myristate (C14), and palmitate (C16) with lower activity. The enzyme also produces a small amount of products that are hydroxylated at neighboring positions (C-6, C-8 and C-9). |

Morant, M., Jørgensen, K., Schaller, H., Pinot, F., Møller, B.L., Werck-Reichhart, D. and Bak, S. CYP703 is an ancient cytochrome P450 in land plants catalyzing in-chain hydroxylation of lauric acid to provide building blocks for sporopollenin synthesis in pollen. Plant Cell 19 (2007) 1473–1487.
