EC 1.14.11.31 Details
EC number
1.14.11.31
Accepted name
thebaine 6-O-demethylase
Reaction
thebaine + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = neopinone + formaldehyde + succinate + CO2
Other name(s)
T6ODM
Systematic name
thebaine,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase (6-O-demethylating)
Comment
Requires Fe2+. Catalyses a step in morphine biosynthesis. The product neopinione spontaneously rearranges to the more stable codeinone. The enzyme also catalyses the 6-O-demethylation of oripavine to morphinone, with lower efficiency.
