ID 4.1.2.60 DE dihydroneopterin triphosphate aldolase. CA 7,8-dihydroneopterin 3'-triphosphate = 6-hydroxymethyl-7,8-dihydropterin CA + glycolaldehyde triphosphate. CC -!- The enzyme, which participates in a pathway for folate biosynthesis, CC is found in the Stramenopiles, a large group that includes oomycetes, CC various microalgae and brown algae, as well as in several bacterial CC phyla. CC -!- It provides a bypass mechanism compensating for the lack of CC EC 4.1.2.25. CC -!- In the malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum the enzyme is CC bifunctional and also catalyzes the activity of EC 4.2.3.12. cf. CC EC 4.1.2.59. //
