Short Name | Quinolinate_synth_type2 |
description | Quinolinate synthetase catalyzes the second step of the de novobiosynthetic pathway of pyridine nucleotide formation. In particular, quinolinate synthetase is involved in the condensation of dihydroxyacetone phosphate and iminoaspartate to form quinolinic acid []. This synthesis requires two enzymes, an FAD-containing "B protein"and an "A protein". |
