Corydaline synthase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
This is a methylation reaction in which palmatine is converted to its corydaline. The methyl group comes from the cofactor, S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), which becomes S-adenosyl-L-homocysteine (SAH). The reaction also requires nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). The enzyme was characterised from Corydalis cava.
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring one-carbon group methyltransferases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-adenosyl-L-methionine:protoberberine 13-C-methyltransferase.
