Name	Indole-2-monooxygenase
EC_number	1.14.13.137

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

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