Tryptophan dimethylallyltransferase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a tryptophan dimethylallyltransferase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

dimethylallyl diphosphate + L-tryptophan $\rightleftharpoons$ diphosphate + 4-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-tryptophan

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dimethylallyl diphosphate and L-tryptophan, whereas its two products are diphosphate and 4-(3-methylbut-2-enyl)-L-tryptophan.

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is Template:Chem name. Other names in common use include Template:Chem name, Template:Chem name, Template:Chem name, DMAT synthetase, and Template:Chem name.
