| Other name(s): |
naloxone reductase |
| Systematic name: |
morphine:NAD(P)+ 6-oxidoreductase |
| Comments: |
Also acts on some other alkaloids, including codeine, normorphine and ethylmorphine, but only very slowly on 7,8-saturated derivatives such as dihydromorphine and dihydrocodeine. In the reverse direction, also reduces naloxone to the 6α-hydroxy analogue. Activated by 2-sulfanylethan-1-ol (2-mercaptoethanol). |
