Glossary: averantin = 1,3,6,8-tetrahydroxy-2-[(1S)-1-hydroxyhexyl]anthracene-9,10-dione

Other name(s): AVN hydroxylase; avnA (gene name); CYP60A1

Systematic name: (1'S)-averantin,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (5'-hydroxylating)

Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein isolated from the saprophytic mold Aspergillus parasiticus. Involved in aflatoxin biosynthesis. Does not react with (1'R)-averantin.
