4.1.1.108
Description 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase
Alternative names TYRDC-2 (gene name)
Catalyzed reaction L-tyrosine + O(2) = 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde + H(2)O(2) + NH(3) + CO(2).
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
Comments A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein. The enzyme, isolated from the the plant Petroselinum crispum (parsley), catalyses the production of 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde directly from L-tyrosine. Tyramine is not formed as an intermediate. The enzyme has a low activity with L-dopa (cf. EC 4.1.1.107, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase).
