ecdysteroid 2-hydroxylase activity [GO_0042768]

ecdysteroid 2-hydroxylase activity

ID: GO_0042768

Class

Catalysis of the hydroxylation of an ecdysteroid at carbon position 2.

Note that in the ecdysteroidogenic pathway, this activity catalyzes the conversion of 2-deoxyecdysone to ecdysone. It can also catalyze the conversion of 2,22-dideoxyecdysone (ketotriol) to 22-deoxyecdysone.
