1.1.1.153

Accepted name:

sepiapterin reductase (L-erythro-7,8-dihydrobiopterin forming)

Reaction:

(1) L-erythro-7,8-dihydrobiopterin + NADP⁺ = sepiapterin + NADPH + H⁺
(2) L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin + 2 NADP⁺ = 6-pyruvoyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin + 2 NADPH + 2 H⁺

Glossary:

sepiapterin = 2-amino-6-lactoyl-7,8-dihydropteridin-4(3H)-one
tetrahydrobiopterin = 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin = 2-amino-6-(1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropteridin-4(3H)-one

Other name(s):

Systematic name:

L-erythro-7,8-dihydrobiopterin:NADP⁺ oxidoreductase

Comments:

This enzyme catalyses the final step in the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. The enzyme, which is found in higher animals and some fungi and bacteria, produces the erythro form of tetrahydrobiopterin. cf. EC 1.1.1.325, sepiapterin reductase (L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin forming).
