UniprotKB/SwissProt ID: Q9SD45 (Q9SD45)
Gene Name:
F24M12.40
Organism: Arabidopsis thaliana (Mouse-ear cress)
Function: Epoxide hydrolase involved in the biosynthesis of cucurbitacin and mogroside tetracyclic triterpene natural products (e.g. siamenoside I and mogrosides IV, V and VI). Cucurbitacins have cytotoxic properties and exhibit deterrent taste as a defense barrier against herbivores. Mogrosides are nonsugar highly oxygenated compounds used as high-intensity zero-calorie sweeteners; they also possess pharmacological properties such as regulating immunity, lowering blood sugar and lipid levels, protecting the liver, and acting as antioxidants and antitumor agents. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of aromatic epoxide-containing substrates, such as the conversion of 24,25-epoxycucurbitadienol to 24,25-dihydroxycucurbitadienol
