Gibberellin 2beta-dioxygenase
class of enzymes
In enzymology, a gibberellin 2beta-dioxygenase (EC 1.14.11.13) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
gibberellin 1 + 2-oxoglutarate + O2
⇌
{\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }
2beta-hydroxygibberellin 1 + succinate + CO2
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are gibberellin 1, 2-oxoglutarate, and O2, whereas its 3 products are 2beta-hydroxygibberellin 1, succinate, and CO2.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived from O2 with 2-oxoglutarate as one donor, and incorporation of one atom o oxygen into each donor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (gibberellin-1),2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (2beta-hydroxylating). This enzyme is also called gibberellin 2beta-hydroxylase. This enzyme participates in diterpenoid biosynthesis.

The public source identifies “Gibberellin 2beta-dioxygenase” as class of enzymes. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Gibberellin, 2beta-dioxygenase and class.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Gibberellin 2beta-dioxygenase”, the useful work is to connect “class of enzymes” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 29, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q3763970. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1986.
Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
How to read it
