Reaction: (1) 3-epi-6-deoxocathasterone + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 6-deoxotyphasterol + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
(2) (22S,24R)-22-hydroxy-5α-ergostan-3-one + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 3-dehydro-6-deoxoteasterone + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
Other name(s): cytochrome P450 90C1; CYP90D1; CYP90C1; 3-epi-6-deoxocathasterone,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (C-23-hydroxylating); 3-epi-6-deoxocathasterone 23-monooxygenase
Systematic name: 22α-hydroxysteroid,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (C-23-hydroxylating)
Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein involved in brassinosteroid biosynthesis in plants. The enzyme has a relaxed substrate specificity, and C-23 hydroxylation can occur at different stages in the pathway. In Arabidopsis thaliana two isozymes, encoded by the CYP90C1 and CYP90D1 genes, have redundant activities.
