UniProtKB accession:  Q70PR7

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Acetyltransferase involved in the biosynthesis of ajmaline-type monoterpenoid indole alkaloids (MIAs) natural products, important plant-derived pharmaceuticals used in the therapy of heart disorders (PubMed:15110860, PubMed:38212296). Catalyzes the conversion of 16-epivellosimine to vinorine, precursor of vomilenine, an intermediate chemical in the biosynthesis of ajmaline (PubMed:15110860). Acts on gardneral, but not on polyneuridine aldehyde or N-methylgardneral (PubMed:15110860).
