Identification
Name:6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin synthase
Synonyms:
  • CPH4 synthase
  • Queuosine biosynthesis protein queD
Gene Name:queD
Enzyme Class:
Biological Properties
General Function:Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific Function:Catalyzes the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate (H2NTP) to 6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin (CPH4) and acetaldehyde. Can also convert 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin (PPH4) and sepiapterin to CPH4; these 2 compounds are probably intermediates in the reaction from H2NTP
