Enzyme Information

4.1.1.48
Indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P9WFX7
1-(2-carboxyphenylamino)-1-deoxy-D-ribulose 5-phosphate = 1-C- (3-indolyl)-glycerol 3-phosphate + CO(2) + H(2)O.
-!- In some organisms, this enzyme is part of a multifunctional protein together with one or more components of the system for biosynthesis of tryptophan (EC 2.4.2.18, EC 4.1.3.27, EC 4.2.1.20 and EC 5.3.1.24).
