6-Pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase
text:
The enzyme 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase catalyzes the following chemical reaction: 7,8-Dihydroneopterin 3′-triphosphate ⇌ 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin + triphosphate This reaction is the second step in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP, which is used as a cofactor in the synthesis of aromatic amino acid monooxygenases and nitric oxide synthase PTPS converts 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate to 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin (PTP) through the loss of the triphosphate group, a ster
