Abstract:
Triterpenoids are active constituents of many medicinal plants. The biosynthetic pathways of triterpenes have been fully studied and significant progress has been made. CYP450s are mainly involved in the post-modification process of triterpenoids biosynthesis, which plays a key role in the diversity of triterpenoids. Currently, a lot of CYP450s, which related to the biosynthesis of triterpenoids, have been cloned from many plants. In this paper, CYP450s involved in the biosynthesis of triterpenoids were reviewed, which provided a reference for the analysis of the biosynthetic pathway of triterpenoids and the functional study of CYP450s.
