Description
This plant enzyme is responsible for the last stages in the biosynthesis of the indole alkaloid ajmaline. The enzyme is highly specific for the substrates 17-O-acetylajmaline and 17-O-acetylnorajmaline as the structurally related acetylated alkaloids vinorine, vomilenine, 1,2-dihydrovomilenine and 1,2-dihydroraucaffricine cannot act as substrates. This is a novel member of the GDSL family of serine esterases/lipases.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.
Synonyms
AAE;2β(R)-17-O-acetylajmalan:acetylesterase; acetylajmalan esterase
Reaction
(1) 17-O-acetylajmaline + H2O = ajmaline + acetate; (2) 17-O-acetylnorajmaline + H2O = norajmaline + acetate
