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