Entry
EC 1.3.3.8                  Enzyme                                 
Name
tetrahydroberberine oxidase;
(S)-THB oxidase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-CH group of donors;
With oxygen as acceptor
Sysname
(S)-tetrahydroberberine:oxygen oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(S)-tetrahydroberberine + 2 O2 = berberine + 2 H2O2 [RN:R02880]
Reaction(KEGG)
R02880;
(other) R03722 R04703 R08795 R11748
Substrate
(S)-tetrahydroberberine [CPD:C03329];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product
