EC 1.14.19.76

Accepted name: flavone synthase II

Reaction: a flavanone + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = a flavone + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + 2 H2O

Other name(s): CYP93B16 (gene name); CYP93G1 (gene name); FNS II

Systematic name: flavanone,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (flavone-forming)

Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein found in plants. The rice enzyme channels flavanones to the biosynthesis of tricin O-linked conjugates. cf. EC 1.14.20.5, flavone synthase I.
