Accepted name: |
4′-methoxyisoflavone 2′-hydroxylase |

Other name(s): |
CYP81E1 (gene name); CYP81E3 (gene name); CYP81E7 (gene name); isoflavone 2′-monooxygenase (ambiguous); isoflavone 2′-hydroxylase (ambiguous) |
Systematic name: |
formononetin,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (2′-hydroxylating) |
Comments: |
A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. Acts on isoflavones with a 4′-methoxy group, such as formononetin and biochanin A. Involved in the biosynthesis of the pterocarpin phytoalexins medicarpin and maackiain. EC 1.14.14.90, isoflavone 2′-hydroxylase, is less specific and acts on other isoflavones as well as 4′-methoxyisoflavones. |
