| Glossary: | (+)-marmesin = (S)-2-(2-hydroxypropan-2-yl)-2,3-dihydro-7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one psoralen = 7H-furo[3,2-g]chromen-7-one |

| Other name(s): | CYP71AJ1 | ||
| Systematic name: | (+)-marmesin,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase | ||
| Comments: | This microsomal cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme is rather specific for (+)-marmesin, although it can also accept 5-hydroxymarmesin to a much lesser extent. Furanocoumarins protect plants from fungal invasion and herbivore attack. (+)-Columbianetin, the angular furanocoumarin analogue of the linear furanocoumarin (+)-marmesin, acts as a competitive inhibitor even though it is not a substrate. | ||
