Acetylajmaline esterase (EC 3.1.1.80, AAE, 2beta(R)-17-O-acetylajmalan:acetylesterase, acetylajmalan esterase) is an enzyme with systematic name 17-O-acetylajmaline O-acetylhydrolase.[1][2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) 17-O-acetylajmaline + H2O ajmaline + acetate
- (2) 17-O-acetylnorajmaline + H2O norajmaline + acetate
This plant enzyme mediates the last stages in the biosynthesis of the indole alkaloid ajmaline.
