Erythromycin 12 hydroxylase
Enzyme
Erythromycin 12 hydroxylase (EC 1.14.13.154, EryK) is an enzyme with systematic name erythromycin-D,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (12-hydroxylating) .[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- erythromycin D + NADPH + H+ + O2 erythromycin C + NADP+ + H2O
Erythromycin 12 hydroxylase is responsible for the C-12 hydroxylation of the macrolactone ring.
