Other name(s): CYP725A1 (gene name); 5-α-taxadienol-10-β-hydroxylase

Systematic name: taxa-4(20),11-dien-5α-yl acetate,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (10β-hydroxylating)

Comments: This microsomal cytochrome-P-450 (heme-thiolate) enzyme from the plant Taxus cuspidata is involved in the biosynthesis of the diterpenoid antineoplastic drug taxol (paclitaxel).
