Indole-2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.13.137, BX2 (gene), CYP71C4 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name indole,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (2-hydroxylating).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

indole + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 \rightleftharpoons indolin-2-one + NAD(P)+ + H2O

Indole-2-monooxygenase is involved in the biosynthesis of protective and allelophatic benzoxazinoids in some plants.
