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). |
