Term Name: tryptophan N-monooxygenase activity
Synonyms: L-tryptophan,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (N-hydroxylating, decarboxylating), tryptophan N-hydroxylase activity
Definition: Catalyzes the multi-step reaction: L-tryptophan + 2 O2 + 2 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = (E)-(indol-3-yl)acetaldehyde oxime + CO2 + 2 H+ + 3 H2O + 2 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase].
