Ent-isokaurene C2-hydroxylase

Ent-isokaurene C2-hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.143, CYP71Z6) is an enzyme with systematic name ent-isokaurene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

ent-isokaurene O₂ NADPH H ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ ent-2alpha-hydroxyisokaurene H₂O NADP

Ent-isokaurene C2-hydroxylase performs the initial step in the conversion of ent-isokaurene to the antibacterial oryzalides in rice, Oryza sativa.
