EC 1.5.1.27 Details
EC number
1.5.1.27
Accepted name
1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH)
Reaction
(R)-reticuline + NADP+ = 1,2-dehydroreticulinium + NADPH + H+
Other name(s)
1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion reductase
Systematic name
(R)-reticuline:NADP+ oxidoreductase
CAS registry number
130590-58-8
Comment
Reduces the 1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion to (R)-reticuline, which is a direct precursor of morphinan alkaloids in the poppy plant. The enzyme does not catalyse the reverse reaction to any significant extent under physiological conditions.
