ecdysteroid 2-hydroxylase activity
ID: GO_0042768
Class
Catalysis of the hydroxylation of an ecdysteroid at carbon position 2.
Note that in the ecdysteroidogenic pathway, this activity catalyzes the conversion of 2-deoxyecdysone to ecdysone. It can also catalyze the conversion of 2,22-dideoxyecdysone (ketotriol) to 22-deoxyecdysone.
