Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen;
With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor
A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein involved in the biosynthesis of isoquinoline alkaloids in plants. It also hydroxylates (S)-cis-N-methyltetrahydrothalifendine, and (S)-cis-N-methyltetrahydropalmatine.
