ID   1.14.14.160
DE   zealexin A1 synthase.
AN   CYP71Z18.
CA   (S)-beta-macrocarpene + 3 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 3 O2 =
CA   zealexin A1 + 3 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + 4 H2O + 4 H(+).
CC   -!- A cytochrome P450 (heme thiolate) enzyme characterized from maize.
CC   -!- The enzyme sequentially oxidizes(S)-beta-macrocarpene via alcohol and
CC       aldehyde intermediates to form zealexin A1, a maize phytoalexin that
CC       provides biochemical protection against fungal infection.
