Sysname
taxusin, [reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen 7-oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(1) taxusin + [reduced NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 7beta-hydroxytaxusin + [oxidized NADPH---hemoprotein reductase] + H2O [RN:

Comment
A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein from the yew tree Taxus cuspidata. Does not act on earlier intermediates in taxol biosynthesis.
