Research progress on CYP450 involved in medicinal plant triterpenoid biosynthesis / 中草药

ABSTRACT

Triterpenoids are active constituents of many medicinal plants. The biosynthetic pathways of triterpenes have been fully studied and significant progress has been made. CYP450s are mainly involved in the post-modification process of triterpenoids biosynthesis, which plays a key role in the diversity of triterpenoids. Currently, a lot of CYP450s, which related to the biosynthesis of triterpenoids, have been cloned from many plants. In this paper, CYP450s involved in the biosynthesis of triterpenoids were reviewed, which provided a reference for the analysis of the biosynthetic pathway of triterpenoids and the functional study of CYP450s.
