Definition:

EC Tree > 1 Oxidoreductases > 1.14 Acting on paired donors, with incorporation or reduction of molecular oxygen > 1.14.20 With 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and the other dehydrogenated > 1.14.20.6 flavonol synthase
Flavonol synthase is an Fe2+/2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that desaturates dihydroflavonols to flavonols; the Citrus unshiu enzyme also trans-3-hydroxylates (2S)- and (2R)-naringenin to kaempferol/dihydrokaempferol.
