1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH)

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a 1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH) (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

(R)-reticuline + NADPTemplate:Sup $\rightleftharpoons$ 1,2-dehydroreticulinium + NADPH + HTemplate:Sup

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-reticuline and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate|NADPTemplate:Sup]], whereas its 3 products are 1,2-dehydroreticulinium, NADPH, and [[hydrogen ion|HTemplate:Sup]].

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-NH group of donors with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-reticuline:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme is also called 1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion reductase. This enzyme participates in alkaloid biosynthesis i.
