Reaction: ent-isokaurene + 2 O2 + 2 [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = ent-isokaurene-2β,3β-diol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + 2 H2O (overall reaction)
(1a) ent-isokaurene + O2 + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = ent-isokauren-2β-ol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
(1b) ent-isokauren-2β-ol + O2 + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] = ent-isokaurene-2β,3β-diol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O

Other name(s): CYP71Z6; ent-isokaurene C2-hydroxylase
Systematic name: ent-isokaurene,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (ent-isokaurene-2β,3β-diol forming)
Comments: This cytochrome P-450 (heme thiolate) enzyme has been characterized from the plant Oryza sativa (rice). It may be involved in production of oryzadione.
