| Accepted name: |
octopamine dehydratase |
| Reaction: |
1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol = (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde + NH3 |
| Glossary: |
octopamine = 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol |
| Other name(s): |
octopamine hydrolyase; octopamine hydro-lyase (deaminating) |
| Systematic name: |
1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol hydro-lyase [deaminating; (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde-forming] |
| Comments: |
The enzyme-catalysed reaction is believed to be dehydration to an enamine, which is spontaneously hydrolysed to an aldehyde and ammonia. |
