In enzymology a 2-hydroxycyclohexanone 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.66) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-hydroxycyclohexan-1-one + NADPH + H+ + O2 6-hydroxyhexan-6-olide + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are 2-hydroxycyclohexan-1-one NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are 6-hydroxyhexan-6-olide NADP+ and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
