The present invention is a cytochrome P450 enzyme (CYP105P2) having a function of introducing a hydroxyl group to an aromatic ring compound, a gene encoding the enzyme, a recombinant vector containing the gene, transformed with the recombinant vector The present invention relates to a method for introducing a hydroxy group into an aromatic ring compound characterized by using the microorganism and the enzyme or the transformed microorganism.n n n The CYP105P2 enzyme according to the present invention has a function of introducing a hydroxy group into an aromatic ring compound and particularly introducing a pentahydroxy group into a benzene ring compound, which is useful for preparing an aromatic compound into which a hydroxy group is introduced.n n n n Cytochrome P450, 7-ethoxycoumarin, cis-5,6,7,8,9-pentahydroxycinnamic acid, cinnamic acid, cis-5,6,7,8,9-pentahydroxycinnamic acid |
