caption_attribution_description: This is a depiction of the Enzyme Polyneuridine-Aldehyde Esterase.
context_page_description: In enzymology, a polyneuridine-aldehyde esterase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
  polyneuridine aldehyde + H₂O 16-epivellosimine + CO₂ + methanol
  Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are polyneuridine aldehyde and H₂O, whereas its three products are 16-epivellosimine, CO₂, and methanol.
  This enzyme participates in indole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis.
