Enzyme Commission Number
EC 4.1.3.36
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoyl-CoA = 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA + H2O
Systematic Name
4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoyl-CoA dehydratase (cyclizing)
Function
This enzyme is involved in the synthesis of 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate, a branch point metabolite leading to the biosynthesis of menaquinone (vitamin K2, in bacteria), phylloquinone (vitamin K1 in plants), and many plant pigments. The coenzyme A group is subsequently removed from the product by EC 3.1.2.28, 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoyl-CoA hydrolase.
Other name
