Anti-EPSP synthase | 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase (chloroplastic, Arabidopsis thaliana)

EPSP synthase (3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyltransferase, chloroplastic) is an enzyme (EC:2.5.1.19) localized in chloroplast stroma which is catalyzing the transfer of the enolpyruvyl moiety of phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) to the 5-hydroxyl of shikimate-3-phosphate (S3P) to produce enolpyruvyl shikimate-3-phosphate and inorganic phosphate. Glyphosate inhibits activity of this enzyme, disrupting the shikimate pathway and ultimately preventing the production of these essential amino acids. Alternative name: 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase.

Store lyophilized/reconstituted at -20°C; once reconstituted make aliquots to avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Please remember to spin the tubes briefly prior to opening them to avoid any losses that might occur from material adhering to the cap or sides of the tube.
