More information in Books or onNLM PubMed
Definition: An enzyme of the shikimate pathway of AROMATIC AMINO ACID biosynthesis, it generates 5-enolpyruvylshikimate 3-phosphate and ORTHOPHOSPHATE from PHOSPHOENOLPYRUVATE and shikimate-3-phosphate. The shikimate pathway is present in BACTERIA and PLANTS but not in MAMMALS.      Other names aroA 3 Phosphoshikimate 1 Carboxyvinyltransferase; Synthase, EPSP; Synthase, 5-Enolpyruvylshikimic Acid-3-Phosphate; Synthase, 5-Enolpyruvylshikimate-3-Phosphate; Synthase, 5-Enol-Pyruvyl Shikimate-3-Phosphate; Synthase, 3-Enolpyruvylshikimate 5-Phosphate; Synthase, 3-Enol-Pyruvoylshikimate-5-Phosphate; Shikimate-3-Phosphate Synthase, 5-Enol-Pyruvyl; Acid-3-Phosphate Synthase, 5-Enolpyruvylshikimic; 5-Phosphate Synthase, 3-Enolpyruvylshikimate; 5 Enolpyruvylshikimic Acid 3 Phosphate Synthase; 5 Enolpyruvylshikimate 3 Phosphate Synthase; 5 Enolpyruvyl Shikimic Acid 3 Phosphate Synthetase; 5 Enol Pyruvyl Shikimate 3 Phosphate Synthase; 3-Phosphoshikimate 1-Carboxyvinyltransferase, aroA; 3 Phosphoshikimate 1 Carboxyvinyltransferase; 3 Enolpyruvylshikimate 5 Phosphate Synthase; 3 Enol Pyruvoylshikimate 5 Phosphate Synthase; 1-Carboxyvinyltransferase, aroA 3-Phosphoshikimate; 1-Carboxyvinyltransferase, 3-Phosphoshikimate
