| Accepted name: |
festuclavine dehydrogenase |
| Reaction: |
festuclavine + NAD+ = 6,8-dimethyl-6,7-didehydroergoline + NADH + H+ |

| Glossary: |
festuclavine = 6,8β-dimethylergoline |
| Other name(s): |
FgaFS; festuclavine synthase |
| Systematic name: |
festuclavine:NAD+ oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of fumigaclavine C, an ergot alkaloid produced by some fungi of the Trichocomaceae family. The reaction proceeds in vivo in the opposite direction to the one shown here. |
