• This enzyme participates in phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan biosynthesis. (wikipedia.org)
  • It is a precursor for the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine,indole, indole derivatives and tryptophan,2,3-dihydroxybenzoic acid (DHB) used for enterobactin biosynthesis,the plant hormone salicylic acid and many alkaloids and other aromatic metabolites. (ecmdb.ca)
  • The biosynthesis of noscapine in P. somniferum begins with chorismic acid , which is synthesized via the shikimate pathway from erythrose 4-phosphate and phosphoenolpyruvate . (cloudfront.net)
  • Chorismic acid is a precursor to the amino acid tyrosine , the source of nitrogen in benzylisoquinoline alkaloids. (cloudfront.net)
  • Chorismic acid, more commonly known as its anionic form chorismate, is an important biochemical intermediate in plants and microorganisms. (ecmdb.ca)
  • Tyrosine can undergo a PLP -mediated transamination to form 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (4-HPP), followed by a TPP -mediated decarboxylation to form 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde (4-HPAA). (cloudfront.net)
  • Tyrosine can also be hydroxylated to form 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA), followed by a PLP-mediated decarboxylation to form dopamine . (cloudfront.net)
