EC 1.5.1.27     
Accepted name: 1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH)
Reaction: (R)-reticuline + NADP+ = 1,2-dehydroreticulinium + NADPH + H+

Other name(s): 1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion reductase
Systematic name: (R)-reticuline:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comments: Reduces the 1,2-dehydroreticulinium ion to (R)-reticuline, which is a direct precursor of morphinan alkaloids in the poppy plant. The enzyme does not catalyse the reverse reaction to any significant extent under physiological conditions.

EC 1.14.19.54     
Accepted name: 1,2-dehydroreticuline synthase
Reaction: (S)-reticuline + [reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + O2 = 1,2-dehydroreticuline + [oxidized NADPH—hemoprotein reductase] + 2 H2O

Glossary: reticuline = 1-(3-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzyl)-6-methoxy-2-methyl-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinolin-7-ol
Other name(s): STORR; CYP82Y2 (gene name); DRS (gene name)
Systematic name: (S)-reticuline,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase
Comments: A P-450 (heme-thiolate) cytochrome. The enzyme from Papaver rhoeas (field poppy) is specific for (S)-reticuline and does not act on the (R)-form. The enzyme from Papaver somniferum (opium poppy), which is involved in the biosynthesis of morphine and related alkaloids, forms a fusion protein with EC 1.5.1.27, 1,2-dehydroreticulinium reductase (NADPH), which catalyses the reduction of 1,2-dehydroreticuline to (R)-reticuline, thus forming an epimerase system that converts (S)-reticuline to (R)-reticuline.

Other name(s): (R)-reticuline oxidase (C-C phenol-coupling)
Systematic name: (R)-reticuline,[reduced NADPH—hemoprotein reductase]:oxygen oxidoreductase (C-C phenol-coupling)
Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein found in plants. Forms the morphinan alkaloid salutaridine by intramolecular phenol oxidation of reticuline without the incorporation of oxygen into the product.
