KEGG   ENZYME: 1.1.1.273
Entry
EC 1.1.1.273                Enzyme                                 
Name
vellosimine dehydrogenase
Class
Oxidoreductases;
Acting on the CH-OH group of donors;
With NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor
Sysname
10-deoxysarpagine:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Reaction(IUBMB)
10-deoxysarpagine + NADP+ = vellosimine + NADPH + H+ [RN:R05827]
Reaction(KEGG)
R05827
Substrate
10-deoxysarpagine [CPD:C11635];
NADP+ [CPD:C00006]
Product
vellosimine [CPD:C11634];
NADPH [CPD:C00005];
H+ [CPD:C00080]
Comment
Also acts on related alkaloids with an endo-aldehyde group as vellosimine (same stereochemistry at C-16) but only slight activity with exo-aldehydes. Detected in many cell suspension cultures of plants from the family Apocynaceae.
