Glossary: dopamine = 4-(2-aminoethyl)benzene-1,2-diol

Other name(s): deacetylipecoside dopamine-lyase

Systematic name: deacetylipecoside dopamine-lyase (secologanin-forming)

Comments: The enzyme from the leaves of Alangium lamarckii differs in enantiomeric specificity from EC 4.3.3.3 deacetylisoipecoside synthase. The product is rapidly converted to demethylalangiside.
