Glossary:

noscapine = (3S)-6,7-dimethoxy-3-[(5R)-4-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl]isobenzofuran-1(3H)-one
narcotine hemiacetal = (3S)-6,7-dimethoxy-3-[(5R)-4-methoxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydro[1,3]dioxolo[4,5-g]isoquinolin-5-yl]-1,3-dihydroisobenzofuran-1-ol

Other name(s):

NOS (gene name)

Systematic name:

narcotine hemiacetal:NAD⁺ 1-oxidoreductase

Comments:

The enzyme, characterized from the plant Papaver somniferum (opium poppy), catalyses the last step in the biosynthesis of the isoquinoline alkaloid noscapine.
