Tyrosine N-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.14.36, tyrosine N-hydroxylase, CYP79A1) is an enzyme with systematic name L-tyrosine,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (N-hydroxylating).[1][2] This enzyme catalyses a sequence of chemical reactions starting from the amino acid L-tyrosine.[3]
The first is an oxidation using molecular oxygen as oxidant and gives N-hydroxytyrosine:
The enzyme is a cytochrome P450 type of hemoprotein which contains reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) as a cofactor.[4]
Another similar oxidation step leads to N,N-dihydroxy-L-tyrosine, which loses carbon dioxide and water to give (E)-(4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde oxime as the final product of the enzyme.[5][6]

In plants such as sorghum, the product goes on to form the cyanogenic glycoside, dhurrin after the (E) isomer of the oxime is converted to its (Z) form and further transformed.[6][7][8]
