The enzyme 3-dehydroquinate synthase (EC 4.2.3.4) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- [[3-deoxy-D-arabino-hept-2-ulosonate 7-phosphate]] 3-dehydroquinate + phosphate
The protein uses NAD+ to catalyze the reaction. This reaction is part of the shikimate pathway which is involved in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
3-Dehydroquinate synthase belongs to the family of lyases, to be specific those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. This enzyme participates in phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan biosynthesis. It employs one cofactor, cobalt (Co2+).
