| tryptophan decarboxylase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the decarboxylation of l-dopa to dopamine, of l-tryptophan to tryptamine, and of l-hydroxytryptophan to serotonin; important in the biosynthetic pathway of catecholamines and melanin. Synonym: dopa decarboxylase, hydroxytryptophan decarboxylase, tryptophan decarboxylase. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| tryptophan desmolase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses 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 catalyses the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate. Chemical name: L-Serine hydro-lyase (adding indoleglycerol-phosphate) Registry number: EC 4.2.1.20 (12 Dec 1998) |
| tryptophan hydroxylase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses the hydroxylation of tryptophan to 5-hydroxytryptophan in the presence of NADPH and molecular oxygen. It is important in the biosynthesis of serotonin. Chemical name: L-tryptophan,tetrahydropteridine:oxygen oxidoreductase (5-hydroxylating) Registry number: EC 1.14.16.4 (12 Dec 1998) |
| tryptophan oxygenase | <enzyme> A protohemoprotein. Forms formylkynurenine from l-tryptophan and molecular oxygen. Chemical name: L-Tryptophan:oxygen 2,3-oxidoreductase (decyclizing) Registry number: EC 1.13.11.11 (12 Dec 1998) |
| tryptophan pyrrolase | An oxidoreductase catalyzing the reaction of l-tryptophan and O2 to produce l-N-formylkynurenine; an adaptive enzyme, the level (in the liver) being controlled by adrenal hormones; a step in tryptophan catabolism; also, a step in the synthesis of NAD+ from tryptophan. Synonym: pyrrolase, tryptophan oxygenase, tryptophan pyrrolase, tryptophanase. (05 Mar 2000) |
| tryptophan synthase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses 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 catalyses the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate. Chemical name: L-Serine hydro-lyase (adding indoleglycerol-phosphate) Registry number: EC 4.2.1.20 (12 Dec 1998) |
| tryptophan synthetase | <enzyme> An enzyme that catalyses 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 catalyses the conversion of serine and indole into tryptophan and water and of indoleglycerol phosphate into indole and glyceraldehyde phosphate. Chemical name: L-Serine hydro-lyase (adding indoleglycerol-phosphate) Registry number: EC 4.2.1.20 (12 Dec 1998) |
| tryptophan-trna ligase | <enzyme> An enzyme that activates tryptophan with its specific transfer RNA. Chemical name: L-Tryptophan:tRNA(Trp) ligase (AMP-forming) Registry number: EC 6.1.1.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
