Morphine 6-dehydrogenase

In enzymology, a morphine 6-dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are morphine, NAD⁺, and NADP⁺, whereas its 4 products are morphinone, NADH, NADPH, and H⁺.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with NAD⁺ or NADP⁺ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is morphine:NAD⁺ 6-oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include naloxone reductase, and reductase, naloxone. This enzyme participates in alkaloid biosynthesis i. This enzyme has at least one effector, Mercaptoethanol.
