Geranylgeraniol 18-hydroxylase

Geranylgeraniol 18-hydroxylase (, GGOH-18-hydroxylase) is an enzyme with systematic name geranylgeraniol,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (18-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * geranylgeraniol + NADPH + H+ + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 18-hydroxygeranylgeraniol + NADP+ + H2O

Geranylgeraniol 18-hydroxylase is a heme-thiolate protein (P-450).
