Involved in strigolactone signaling pathway. May function downstream of strigolactone synthesis, as a component of hormone signaling or as an enzyme that participates in the conversion of strigolactones to the bioactive form. Can hydrolyze the synthetic strigolactone analog GR24 in vitro. Strigolactones are hormones that inhibit tillering and shoot branching through the MAX-dependent pathway, contribute to the regulation of shoot architectural response to phosphate-limiting conditions and function as rhizosphere signal that stimulates hyphal branching of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and trigger seed germination of root parasitic weeds. Interacts with MAX2A in a strigolactone-dependent manner. Increased shoot branching. Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily.
