| Function | Catalyzes the oxidation of cytokinins, a family of N(6)- substituted adenine derivatives that are plant hormones, where the substituent is an isopentenyl group. Cleaves zeatin, isopentenyladenine, isopentenyladenosine, zeatin riboside and cis- zeatin, but not dihydrozeatin, kinetin and benzylaminopurine. |
| Subcellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space. |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in immature kernels and unpollinated cobs. Weakly expressed in kernels harvested two weeks after anthesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11154345}. |
