The enzyme 2-hydroxyisoflavanone dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.105) catalyzes the chemical reaction This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,7,4′-trihydroxyisoflavanone hydro-lyase (daidzein-forming).
This enzyme participates in isoflavonoid biosynthesis.
The variant GmHID1 from Glycine max converts 2-hydroxyisoflavone to isoflavones, mostly daidzein and genistein.
