EC 1.1.1.317     
Accepted name: perakine reductase
Reaction: raucaffrinoline + NADP+ = perakine + NADPH + H+

Glossary: raucaffrinoline = (17R,20α,21β)-1,2-didehydro-1-demethyl-19-hydroxy-21-methyl-18-norajmalan-17-yl acetate
perakine = raucaffrine = (17R,20α,21β)-1,2-didehydro-1-demethyl-17-(acetyloxy)-21-methyl-18-norajmalan-19-al
Systematic name: raucaffrinoline:NADP+ oxidoreductase
Comments: The biosynthesis of raucaffrinoline from perakine is a side route of the ajmaline biosynthesis pathway. The enzyme is a member of the aldo-keto reductase enzyme superfamily from higher plants.
