7-Deoxyloganetic acid synthase catalyzes a key 3 step oxidation to form 7-deoxyloganetic acid in Catharanthus roseus iridoid biosynthesis

Iridodial oxidase is a microsomal CYP whose biochemical function has been identified by a bioinformatic candidate gene approach, by virus induced gene silencing and by functional expression in a recombinant yeast system.
