Product Description

DAHP stands at the beginning of the enzyme-catalyzed cascade that starts with this seven-carbon carbohydrate and ends with the aromatic amino acids phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan. 3-Deoxy-D-arabino-heptulosonic acid 7-phosphate (DAHP) is a 7-carbon ulonic acid. This compound is found in the shikimic acid biosynthesis pathway and is an intermediate in the production of aromatic amino acids. Phosphoenolpyruvate and erythrose-4-phosphate react to form 3-deoxy-D-arabinoheptulosonate-7-phosphate (DAHP), in a reaction catalyzed by the enzyme DAHP synthase. Synonyms: 3-Deoxy-D-arabino-2-heptulosonic Acid 7-(Dihydrogen Phosphate) Disodium, 3-Deoxy-2-keto-D-glucoheptonic Acid 7-Phosphate Disodium, DAHP Disodium CAS No: 2627-73-8- (for the free acid) Molecular Formula: C7H11Na2O10P Molecular Weight: 332.11 Appearance: Yellow solid Purity: ~90% Melting Point: >110C (dec.)
