IUBMB Comments

Isolated from the plant Erythroxylum novogranatense. The enzyme, which is highly stereoselective, is involved in cocaine biosynthesis. The substrate, ecgonone, is unstable, and in the absence of the methyltransferase decarboxylates into tropinone.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Erythroxylum

Synonyms
CYP81AN15, MT4, more
