Protein
6-pyruvoyl tetrahydrobiopterin synthase
Function
Involved in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin, an essential cofactor of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Catalyzes the transformation of 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate into 6-pyruvoyl tetrahydropterin (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the PTPS family.
