The four substrates of this enzyme are (6aR,11aR)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are glycinol, oxidised NADP+, and water.[1][2]

3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan 6a-monooxygenase is a cytochrome P450 protein containing heme. It requires a partner, cytochrome P450 reductase which uses NADPH, for functional expression. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (6aR,11aR)-3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6a-hydroxylating). Other names in common use include 3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan 6a-hydroxylase, and 3,9-dihydroxypterocarpan 6alpha-monooxygenase (erroneous).[1] It is part of the biosynthetic pathway to phytoalexins in soybean.[3]
