ID 2.2.1.11 DE 6-deoxy-5-ketofructose 1-phosphate synthase. AN DKFP synthase. CA (1) beta-D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate + methylglyoxal = 1-deoxy-D-threo- CA hexo-2,5-diulose 6-phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. CA (2) beta-D-fructose 1-phosphate + methylglyoxal = 1-deoxy-D-threo-hexo- CA 2,5-diulose 6-phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde. CC -!- The enzyme plays a key role in an alternative pathway of the CC biosynthesis of 3-dehydroquinate (DHQ), which is involved in the CC canonical pathway for the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids. CC -!- The enzyme can also catalyze the reaction of EC 4.1.2.13. DR Q58980, DKFP_METJA ; //
