geraniol 8-hydroxylase

Requires cytochrome P-450. Also hydroxylates nerol and citronellol, cf. EC 1.14.13.151 linalool 8-monooxygenase. The recommended numbering of geraniol gives 8-hydroxygeraniol as the product rather than 10-hydroxygeraniol as used by references 1-3. See prenol nomenclature Pr-1. The cloned enzyme also catalysed, but less efficiently, the 3'-hydroxylation of naringenin (cf. EC 1.14.13.21, flavonoid 3'-monooxygenase).
