Identification
Name:6-Carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin
Description6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin is a member of the chemical class known as Alpha Amino Acids and Derivatives. These are amino acids in which the amino group is attached to the carbon atom immediately adjacent to the carboxylate group (alpha carbon).6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin is catalyzed by QueD. Escherichia coli QueD is a 6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin synthase. (PMID 19231875)

Chemical Taxonomy
Description belongs to the class of organic compounds known as pterin carboxylates. These are heterocyclic aromatic compounds containing a pterin moiety, in which one ring is substituted by one or more carboxylic acid groups. Pterin is a heterocyclic compound composed of a pteridine ring system (made up of a pyrazine fused to a pyrimidine), with a keto group and an amino group at the 2- and 4- positions, respectively.

General function:
Coenzyme transport and metabolism
Specific function:
Catalyzes the conversion of 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate (H2NTP) to 6-carboxy-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin (CPH4) and acetaldehyde. Can also convert 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin (PPH4) and sepiapterin to CPH4; these 2 compounds are probably intermediates in the reaction from H2NTP
