Tryptophan 7-halogenase (EC 1.14.14.7, PrnA, RebH) is an enzyme with system name L-tryptophan:FADH2 oxidoreductase (7-halogenating).[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

tryptophan + FADH2 + Cl + O2 + H+ \rightleftharpoons 7-chloro-L-tryptophan + FAD + 2 H2O

In Lechevalieria aerocolonigenes the enzyme catalyses the initial step in the biosynthesis of rebeccamycin.
