| Function | Catalyzes the C6-oxidation step in brassinosteroids biosynthesis. Converts 6-deoxocastasterone to castasterone, and castasterone to brassinolide. May also convert 6-deoxoteasterone to teasterone, 3-dehydro-6-deoxoteasterone to 3-dehydroteasterone, and 6-deoxotyphasterol to typhasterol. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12529536}. |
| Subcellular Location | Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000305}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in stems, leaves, siliques, shoots, and roots, with a higher expression in apical shoots. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12529536}. |
