Enzyme Information

1.1.1.325
Sepiapterin reductase (L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin forming).
based on mapping to UniProt Q8KES3
(1) L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin + NADP(+) = sepiapterin + NADPH. (2) L-threo-tetrahydrobiopterin + 2 NADP(+) = 6-pyruvoyl-5,6,7,8- tetrahydropterin + 2 NADPH.
-!- This enzyme, isolated from the bacterium Chlorobium tepidum, catalyzes the final step in the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. -!- Cf. EC 1.1.1.153.
