CYP123 family

Cytochrome P450, family 123, also known as CYP123, is a cytochrome P450 monooxygenase family in bacteria. The first gene in this family to identify function is CYP123A9 from Rhodococcus sp, which catalysis estrone to 16-hydroxyestrone in the estradiol degradation pathway of bacteria.[1]
