ID   1.14.19.54
DE   1,2-dehydroreticuline synthase.
AN   CYP82Y2.
CA   (S)-reticuline + O2 + reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = 1,2-
CA   dehydroreticuline + H(+) + 2 H2O + oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein
CA   reductase].
CC   -!- The enzyme from Papaver rhoeas (field poppy) is specific for (S)-
CC       reticuline and does not act on the (R)-form.
CC   -!- The enzyme from Papaver somniferum (opium poppy), which is involved
CC       in the biosynthesis of morphine and related alkaloids, forms a fusion
CC       protein with EC 1.5.1.27, which catalyzes the reduction of 1,2-
CC       dehydroreticuline to (R)-reticuline, thus forming an epimerase system
CC       that converts (S)-reticuline to (R)-reticuline.
