The three substrates of this enzyme are loganin, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), and oxygen. Its products are secologanin, oxidised NADP+, and water.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is loganin:oxygen oxidoreductase (ring-cleaving). It is a member of the cytochrome P450 protein superfamily and participates in indole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis.[3][4]
