ENZYME entry: EC 2.5.1.115

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/2.5.1.115
Accepted Name
homogentisate phytyltransferase
Alternative Name(s)
HPT
Reaction catalysed
phytyl diphosphate + homogentisate + H(+) = 2-methyl-6-phytyl-1,4-benzene-1,4-diol + CO2 + diphosphate
Comment(s)
  • Involved in the biosynthesis of the vitamin E tocopherols.
  • While the enzyme from the cyanobacterium Synechocystis PCC 6803 has an appreciable activity with geranylgeranyl diphosphate (EC 2.5.1.116), the enzyme from the plant Arabidopsis thaliana has only a low activity with that substrate.
  • Formerly EC 2.5.1.n8.
