Strictosidine beta-glucosidase

3α(S)-strictosidine β-glucosidase is an enzyme with systematic name strictosidine β- D -glucohydrolase. It catalyses the following chemical reaction:


 * strictosidine + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ D -glucose + strictosidine aglycone

It belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those glycosidases that hydrolyse O- and S-glycosyl compounds. It participates in indole and ipecac alkaloid biosynthesis.

Strictosidine is a precursor of indole alkaloids.
