Morphine 6-dehydrogenase
In enzymology, a morphine 6-dehydrogenase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction The 3 substrates of this enzyme are morphine, NAD, and NADP, whereas its 4 products are morphinone, NADH, NADPH, and H. This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD or NADP as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is morphine:NAD(P) 6-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include naloxone reductase, and reductase, naloxone. This enzyme participates in alkaloid biosynthesis i. This enzyme has at least one effector, Mercaptoethanol
