Entry
EC 1.5.1.31                 Enzyme                                 
Name
berberine reductase;
(R)-canadine synthase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-NH group of donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
Sysname
(R)-tetrahydroberberine:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
(R)-canadine + 2 NADP+ = berberine + 2 NADPH + H+ [RN:R07169]
Reaction(KEGG)
R07169
Substrate
(R)-canadine [CPD:C11818];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006]
Product
berberine [CPD:C00757];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Comment
Involved in alkaloid biosynthesis in Corydalis cava to give (R)-canadine with the opposite configuration to the precursor of berberine (see EC 1.3.3.8 tetrahydroberberine oxidase). Also acts on 7,8-dihydroberberine.
