Accepted name: |
stizolobinate synthase |
Reaction: |
L-dopa + O2 = 5-(L-alanin-3-yl)-2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconate 6-semialdehyde |
Glossary: |
L-dopa = 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine |
Systematic name: |
3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine:oxygen 2,3-oxidoreductase (recyclizing) |
Comments: |
The intermediate product undergoes ring closure and oxidation, with NAD(P)+ as acceptor, to stizolobinic acid. The enzyme requires Zn2+. |
