Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.14 With reduced flavin or flavoprotein as one donor, and incorporation of one atom of oxygen into the other donor > 1.14.14.117 aflatoxin B synthase
Aflatoxin B synthase is a cytochrome P-450 from Aspergillus parasiticus (subgenus Circumdati), converting 8-O-methylsterigmatocystin (or 8-O-methyldihydrosterigmatocystin) with O2 into aflatoxin B1 (or B2), releasing methanol and CO2.
