Phylloquinone monooxygenase (2,3-epoxidizing)

In enzymology, a phylloquinone monooxygenase (2,3-epoxidizing) (EC number|1.14.99.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:phylloquinone + AH₂ + O₂ $ightleftharpoons$ 2,3-epoxyphylloquinone + A + H₂O

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are phylloquinone, AH2, and O₂, whereas its 3 products are 2,3-epoxyphylloquinone, A, and H₂O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derive from O miscellaneous. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phylloquinone,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (2,3-epoxidizing). Other names in common use include phylloquinone epoxidase, vitamin K 2,3-epoxidase, vitamin K epoxidase, and vitamin K1 epoxidase.
