Term Name: reticuline oxidase activity
Synonyms: (S)-reticuline:oxygen oxidoreductase (methylene-bridge-forming), BBE, berberine bridge enzyme activity, berberine-bridge-forming enzyme activity, tetrahydroprotoberberine synthase activity
Definition: Catalysis of the reaction: (S)-reticuline + O2 = (S)-scoulerine + H2O2 + H+. Also acts on related compounds, converting the N-methyl group into the methylene bridge ('berberine bridge') of (S)- tetrahydroprotoberberines.
