Chanoclavine-I dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.332, easD (gene), fgaDH (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name chanoclavine-I:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1][2] This enzyme catalises the following chemical reaction

chanoclavine-I + NAD+ [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] chanoclavine-I aldehyde + NADH + H+

This enzyme catalyses a step in the pathway of ergot alkaloid biosynthesis in certain fungi.
