Ecdysone oxidase
In enzymology, an ecdysone oxidase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are ecdysone and O, whereas its two products are 3-dehydroecdysone and HO. This enzyme may or may not belong to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ecdysone:oxygen 3-oxidoreductase. This enzyme might also be called beta-ecdysone oxidase.
