DE   psoralen synthase.
CA   (7S)-marmesin + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = acetone +
CA   H(+) + 2 H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] + psoralen.
CC   -!- This microsomal cytochrome P450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme is rather
CC       specific for (+)-marmesin, although it can also accept
CC       5-hydroxymarmesin to a much lesser extent.
CC   -!- Furanocoumarins protect plants from fungal invasion and herbivore
CC       attack.
CC   -!- (+)-columbianetin, the angular furanocoumarin analog of the linear
CC       furanocoumarin (+)-marmesin, acts as a competitive inhibitor even
CC       though it is not a substrate.
CC   -!- Formerly EC 1.14.13.102.
