Indole-2-monooxygenase ( EC 1.14.13.137, BX2 (gene), CYP71C4 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name indole,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating). [1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- indole + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 indolin-2-one + NAD(P)+ + H2O
Indole-2-monooxygenase is involved in the biosynthesis of protective and allelopathic benzoxazinoids in some plants.
