The enzyme deacetylipecoside synthase (EC 4.3.3.4) catalyzes the chemical reaction
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically amine lyases, which cleave carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is deacetylipecoside dopamine-lyase (secologanin-forming). This enzyme is also called deacetylipecoside dopamine-lyase. It participates in indole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis.
