5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) synthase is an enzyme produced by plants and microorganisms. It catalyzes the chemical reaction: :phosphoenolpyruvate + 3-phosphoshikimate phosphate + 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate (EPSP) Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and 3-phospho-shikimate, whereas its two products are phosphate and 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate. It is the biological target of the herbicide, glyphosate and a glyphosate-resistant version of this gene has been used in genetically modified crops. == Nomenclature == The enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, to be specific those transferring aryl or alkyl groups other than methyl groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is phosphoenolpyruvate:3-phosphoshikimate 5-O-(1-carboxyvinyl)-transferase. Other names in common use include: * 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, * 3-enolpyruvylshikimate 5-phosphate synthase, * 3-enolpyruvylshikimic acid-5-phosphate synthetase, * 5'-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthase, * 5-enolpyruvyl-3-phosphoshikimate synthase, * 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphate synthetase, * 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phosphoric acid synthase, * enolpyruvylshikimate phosphate synthase, and * 3-phosphoshikimate 1-carboxyvinyl transferase. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「EPSP synthase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
