Reaction
11-oxo-β-amyrin + 3 O2 + 3 NADPH + 3 H+ = glycyrrhetinate + 3 NADP+ + 4 H2O (overall reaction); (1a) 11-oxo-β-amyrin + O2 + NADPH + H+ = 30-hydroxy-11-oxo-β-amyrin + NADP+ + H2O; (1b) 30-hydroxy-11-oxo-β-amyrin + O2 + NADPH + H+ = glycyrrhetaldehyde + NADP+ + 2 H2O; (1c) glycyrrhetaldehyde + O2 + NADPH + H+ = glycyrrhetinate + NADP+ + H2O
