| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Acts on a wide range of substrates in vitro, including cyanohydrins,
terpenoids, phenolics, hexanol derivatives and plant hormones, in a
regiospecific manner.
- Involved in the biosynthesis of the cyanogenic glucoside dhurrin in
sorghum, along with EC 1.14.13.41 and EC 1.14.13.68.
- This reaction prevents the disocciation and release of toxic hydrogen
cyanide.
