Definition:
EC Tree > 2 Transferases > 2.1 Transferring one-carbon groups > 2.1.1 Methyltransferases > 2.1.1.403 methylecgonone synthase
Methylecgonone synthase from Erythroxylum novogranatense stereoselectively methylates the unstable ecgonone carboxyl into ecgonone methyl ester in cocaine biosynthesis; in the absence of the enzyme ecgonone decarboxylates into tropinone.
