| Official Name |
|---|
| 1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH).
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| 1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion reductase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| (R)-reticuline + NADP(+) <=> 1,2-dehydroreticulinium + NADPH |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- 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 catalyze the reverse reaction to any significant
extent under physiological conditions.
