| Other name(s): |
SAT (gene name) |
| Systematic name: |
acetyl-CoA:stemmadenine O-acetyltransferase |
| Comments: |
The enzyme, characterized from the plant Catharanthus roseus (Madagascar periwinkle), participates in a pathway that leads to the production of a number of monoterpene alkaloids, as well as the bisindole alkaloids vinblastine and vincristine, which are used as anticancer drugs. |
