Enzyme Information

3.3.2.9
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q6U6J0
Cis-stilbene oxide + H(2)O = (+)-(1R,2R)-1,2-diphenylethane-1,2-diol.
-!- Involved in the metabolism of numerous xenobiotics, such as 1,3- butadiene oxide, styrene oxide and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon benzo[a]pyrene 4,5-oxide. -!- In a series of oxiranes with a lipophilic substituent of sufficient size (styrene oxides), monosubstituted as well as 1,1- and cis-1,2- disubstituted oxiranes serve as substrates or inhibitors of the enzyme, while trans-1,2-disubstituted, tri- and tetra-substituted oxiranes are not substrates. -!- The reaction involves the formation of an hydroxyalkyl-enzyme intermediate. -!- Formerly EC 3.3.2.3, EC 4.2.1.63 and EC 4.2.1.64.
