The three substrates of this enzyme are protopine, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and oxygen. ts initial benzylisoquinoline alkaloid product is 6-hydroxyprotopine but this spontaneously forms dihydrosanguinarine.[1][2] NADP+ and water are the by-products.[3]

The systematic name of this enzyme class is protopine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-hydroxylating). It is also called protopine 6-hydroxylase.
