Enzyme Information
| 4.2.3.12 | 
							 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase. 
							based on mapping to UniProt P27213 		
							7,8-dihydroneopterin 3'-triphosphate = 6-pyruvoyl-5,6,7,8- tetrahydropterin + triphosphate. 
							-!- Catalyzes triphosphate elimination and an intramolecular redox reaction. -!- The product is 6-pyruvoyltetrahydrobiopterin. -!- Involved in the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP, with the other enzymes involved being EC 1.1.1.153 and EC 3.5.4.16. -!- Formerly EC 4.6.1.10.
