KEGG   ENZYME: 1.5.1.27Help
Entry
EC 1.5.1.27                 Enzyme                                 
Name
1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH);
1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion reductase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-NH group of donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
(R)-reticuline:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(R)-reticuline + NADP+ = 1,2-dehydroreticulinium + NADPH + H+ [RN:R04695]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
(R)-reticuline [CPD:C05178];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006]
Product
1,2-dehydroreticulinium [CPD:C06167];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
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.
Pathway
Isoquinoline alkaloid biosynthesis
Metabolic pathways
Biosynthesis of secondary metabolites
