Other name(s): 5-epi-aristolochene 1,3-dihydroxylase; EAH; CYP71D20
Systematic name: 5-epiaristolochene,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (1- and 3-hydroxylating)
Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. Kinetic studies suggest that 1β-hydroxyepiaristolochene is mainly formed first followed by hydroxylation at C-3. However the reverse order via 3α-hydroxyepiaristolochene does occur.
