Berberine Biosynthesis

Berberine Biosynthesis is a specialized metabolic pathway within alkaloid biosynthesis that entails the enzymatic conversion of tyrosine-derived intermediates into the isoquinoline alkaloid berberine through a series of phenolic and methyltransferase-mediated reactions unique to certain plant species of the Papaveraceae and Ranunculaceae families.
