Indolin-2-one monooxygenase is a cytochrome P450 protein containing heme, isolated from Poaceae (grasses). It uses molecular oxygen for the oxidation and requires a partner cytochrome P450 reductase for functional expression. This uses nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. It is involved in the biosynthesis of protective and allelopathic benzoxazinoids in some plants.[2][3]
