EC 1.14.14.176     
Accepted name: taxadiene 5α-hydroxylase
Reaction: taxa-4,11-diene + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-ol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O

Systematic name: taxa-4,11-diene,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (5α-hydroxylating)
Comments: This microsomal cytochrome-P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the diterpenoid antineoplastic drug taxol (paclitaxel). The reaction includes rearrangement of the 4(5)-double bond to a 4(20)-double bond, possibly through allylic oxidation.
