DE   polyneuridine-aldehyde esterase.
AN   PNAE.
AN   polyneuridine aldehyde esterase.
CA   H2O + polyneuridine aldehyde = 16-epivellosimine + CO2 + methanol.
CC   -!- Following hydrolysis of this indole alkaloid ester, the carboxylic
CC       acid decarboxylates spontaneously giving the sarpagan skeleton.
CC   -!- Also acts on akuammidine aldehyde (the 16-epimer of polyneuridine
CC       aldehyde).
