Psoralen synthase (EC 1.14.14.141) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The enzyme is a cytochrome P450 protein containing heme, isolated from Ammi majus. It uses molecular oxygen for the oxidation and requires a partner cytochrome P450 reductase for functional expression. This uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. The oxidoreductase is also called CYP71AJ1.[1][2]
