FunFam 110: S-norcoclaurine synthase 1

There are 1 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
(S)-norcoclaurine synthase. [EC: 4.2.1.78]
Dopamine + 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde = (S)-norcoclaurine + H(2)O.
  • The reaction makes a 6-membered ring by forming a bond between C-6 of the 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl group of the dopamine and C-1 of the aldehyde in the imine formed between the substrates.
  • The product is the precursor of the benzylisoquinoline alkaloids in plants.
  • Will also catalyze the reaction of 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol + (3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde to form (S)-norlaudanosoline, but this alkaloid has not been found to occur in plants.
