Abstract

Polynucleotides and polypeptides useful in the manufacture of a class of chemical compounds known as alkaloids are provided. The polynucleotides and polypeptides may be used to synthesize alkaloids, including reticuline, thebaine and morphine, in vivo and in vitro. The polynucleotides further may be used to examine the presence of the polynucleotides in a cell or a cell extract, and to modulate expression thereof in living cells.
