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. |
