Acetylajmaline esterase

The enzyme acetylajmaline esterase (EC 3.1.1.80, AAE, 2β(R)-17-O-acetylajmalan:acetylesterase, acetylajmalan esterase; systematic name 17-O-acetylajmaline O-acetylhydrolase) catalyses the following reactions:

(1) 17-O-acetylajmaline + H<sub>2</sub>O ajmaline + acetate
(2) 17-O-acetylnorajmaline + H<sub>2</sub>O norajmaline + acetate

This plant enzyme mediates the last stages in the biosynthesis of the indole alkaloid ajmaline.
