Descriptor triptófano sintasa
Entry term(s) triptófano sintetasa
Scope note: Enzima que cataliza la conversión de L-serina y 1-(indol-3-il)glicerol 3-fosfato en L-triptofano y gliceraldehído 3-fosfato. Es una proteína que requiere fosfato de piridoxal y cataliza la conversión de serina e indol en triptofano y agua y del indolglicerol fosfato en indol y gliceraldehído fosfato. (Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4.2.1.20.

Scope note: An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-serine and 1-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate to L-tryptophan and glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate. It is a pyridoxal phosphate protein that also catalyzes the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate. (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992) EC 4.2.1.20.
