| Function | Exhibits a high coumarin 7-hydroxylase activity. Can act in the hydroxylation of the anti-cancer drugs cyclophosphamide and ifosphamide. Competent in the metabolic activation of aflatoxin B1. Constitutes the major nicotine C-oxidase. Acts as a 1,4- cineole 2-exo-monooxygenase. Possesses low phenacetin O- deethylation activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11695850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16086027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17125252, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18779312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1889415, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1944238}. |
