Enzyme Information

1.3.1.100
Chanoclavine-I aldehyde reductase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q4WZ70
Dihydrochanoclavine-I aldehyde + NADP(+) = chanoclavine-I aldehyde + NADPH.
-!- The enzyme participates in the biosynthesis of fumigaclavine C, an ergot alkaloid produced by some fungi of the Trichocomaceae family. -!- The enzyme catalyzes the reduction of chanoclavine-I aldehyde to dihydrochanoclavine-I aldehyde. -!- This hydrolyzes spontaneously to form 6,8-dimethyl-6,7- didehydroergoline, which is converted to festuclavine by EC 1.5.1.44.
