1.14.14.162 |
Accepted name: |

Other name(s): |
CYP93G2 (gene name); CYP93B1 (gene name); (2S)-flavanone 2-hydroxylase; licodione synthase |
Systematic name: |
flavanone,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating) |
Comments: |
A cytochrome P-450 (heme thiolate) plant enzyme that catalyses the 2-hydroxylation of multiple flavanones such as (2S)-naringenin, (2S)-eriodictyol, (2S)-pinocembrin, and (2S)-liquiritigenin. The products are meta-stable and exist in an equilibrium with open forms such as 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-3-(2,4,6-trihydroxyphenyl)propane-1,3-dione. |
