Description
Requires cytochrome P-450. Part of the glycyrrhizin biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme is also able to oxidize 30-hydroxy-β-amyrin to 11α,30-dihydroxy-β-amyrin but this is not thought to be part of glycyrrhizin biosynthesis.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC~-80 ºC.
Reaction
β-amyrin + 2 O2 + 2 NADPH + 2 H+ = 11-oxo-β-amyrin + 3 H2O + 2 NADP+ (overall reaction); (1a) β-amyrin + O2 + NADPH + H+ = 11α-hydroxy-β-amyrin + H2O + NADP+; (1b) 11α-hydroxy-β-amyrin + O2 + NADPH + H+ = 11-oxo-β-amyrin + 2 H2O + NADP+
