Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one monooxygenase (Template:EC number, BX4 (gene), CYP71C1 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one-forming).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- 3-hydroxyindolin-2-one + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 2-hydroxy-2H-1,4-benzoxazin-3(4H)-one + NAD(P)+ + H2O
3-hydroxyindolin-2-one monooxygenase is involved in the biosynthesis of protective and allelopathic benzoxazinoids in some plants.
