Other name(s): CYP80G2
Systematic name: (S)-reticuline,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (C-C phenol-coupling; (S)-corytuberine-forming)
Comments: A cytochrome P-450 (heme-thiolate) protein. The enzyme is involved in the biosynthesis of the quaternary benzylisoquinoline alkaloid magnoflorine in the plant Coptis japonica. It is specific for (S)-reticuline.

Other name(s): RNMT
Systematic name: S-adenosyl-L-methionine:(S)-reticuline N-methyltransferase
Comments: The enzyme from opium poppy (Papaver somniferum) can also methylate (R)-reticuline, tetrahydropapaverine, (S)-glaucine and (S)-bulbocapnine. It is involved in the biosynthesis of the quaternary benzylisoquinoline alkaloid magnoflorine.
