The enzyme acetylajmaline esterase (EC 3.1.1.80, AAE, 2β(R)-17-O-acetylajmalan:acetylesterase, acetylajmalan esterase; systematic name 17-O-acetylajmaline O-acetylhydrolase)[1][2] catalyses the following reactions:
- (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.
