Festuclavine dehydrogenase (EC 1.5.1.44, FgaFS, festuclavine synthase) is an enzyme with systematic name festuclavine:NAD+ oxidoreductase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

festuclavine + NAD+ [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 6,8-dimethyl-6,7-didehydroergoline + NADH + H+

The enzyme takes part in the biosynthesis of fumigaclavine C.
