This entry represents a member of a biosynthetic gene cluster (BGC). This BGC (BGC0001612) is described by MIBiG as an example of the following biosynthetic class, alkaloid. It includes a member from the ambiguine H isonitrile biosynthetic gene cluster from Fischerella ambigua UTEX 1903 [1]. This family appears to be predominantly found in bacteria.
