In enzymology a hydroxyphenylacetonitrile 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.42) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile + NADPH + H+ + O2 4-hydroxymandelonitrile + NADP+ + H2OThe 4 substrates of this enzyme are 4-hydroxyphenylacetonitrile NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are 4-hydroxymandelonitrile 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.
