Imidazole acetol-phosphate
Definition
Imidazole acetol-phosphate is involved in the histidine biosynthesis I pathway. Imidazole acetol-phosphate is created by the breakdown of D-erythro-imidazole-glycerol-phosphate into imidazole acetol-phosphate and H2O. Imidazoleglycerol-phosphate dehydratase catalyzes this reaction. Imidazole acetol-phosphate reacts with L-glutamate to produce L-histidinol-phosphate and 2-ketoglutarate. Histidinol-phosphate aminotransferase catalyzes this reaction.
Belongs to the class of organic compounds known as monoalkyl phosphates. These are organic compounds containing a phosphate group that is linked to exactly one alkyl chain.
