Perakine reductase

Perakine reductase is an enzyme with systematic name raucaffrinoline:NADP+ oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * raucaffrinoline + NADP+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ perakine + NADPH + H+

The biosynthesis of raucaffrinoline from perakine is a side route of the ajmaline biosynthesis pathway.
