- deacetylipecoside + H2O dopamine + secologanin
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are deacetylipecoside and H2O, whereas its two products are dopamine and secologanin.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically amine lyases, which cleave carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is deacetylipecoside dopamine-lyase (secologanin-forming). This enzyme is also called deacetylipecoside dopamine-lyase. This enzyme participates in indole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis.
