Molecular Cloning and Identification of NADPH Cytochrome P450 Reductase from <i>Panax ginseng</i>

Ginseng (<i>Panax ginseng</i> C.A. Mey.) is a precious Chinese traditional medicine, for which ginsenosides are the most important medicinal ingredients. Cytochrome P450 enzymes (CYP450) and their primary redox molecular companion NADPH cytochrome P450 reductase (CPR) play a key role in...
