EC 1.1.1.334 Details
EC number
1.1.1.334
Accepted name
methylecgonone reductase
Reaction
ecgonine methyl ester + NADP+ = ecgonone methyl ester + NADPH + H+
Other name(s)
MecgoR (gene name)
Systematic name
ecgonine methyl ester:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comment
The enzyme from the plant Erythroxylum coca catalyses the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of cocaine. In vivo the reaction proceeds in the opposite direction. With NADH instead of NADPH the reaction rate is reduced to 14%. The enzyme also reduces tropinone, nortropinone and 6-hydroxytropinone but with lower reaction rates.
