KEGG   ENZYME: 4.2.1.88
Entry
EC 4.2.1.88                 Enzyme                                 
Name
synephrine dehydratase;
syringinase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-oxygen lyases;
Hydro-lyases
Sysname
(R)-synephrine hydro-lyase (methylamine-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
(R)-synephrine = (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde + methylamine [RN:R03359]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03359
Substrate
(R)-synephrine [CPD:C01869]
Product
4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde [CPD:C03765];
methylamine [CPD:C00218]
Comment
Removal of H2O from (R)-synephrine produces a 2,3-enamine, which hydrolyses to the products shown in the reaction above. The enzyme from Arthrobacter synephrinum is highly specific [1].
History
