EC number
1.14.14.128
Accepted name
farnesoate epoxidase
Reaction
(2E,6E)-farnesoate + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = juvenile-hormone-III carboxylate + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + H2O
Other name(s)
CYP15C1
Systematic name
(2E,6E)-farnesoate,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase
