Abietadiene hydroxylase

Abieta-7,13-diene hydroxylase is an enzyme with systematic name abieta-7,13-diene,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (18-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * abieta-7,13-diene + NADPH + H+ + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ abieta-7,13-dien-18-ol + NADP+ + H2O

Abietadiene hydroxylase is a heme-thiolate protein (P-450).
