Class of enzymes

Field	Value
Name	6-deoxy-5-ketofructose 1-phosphate synthase
EC_number	2.2.1.11

6-deoxy-5-ketofructose 1-phosphate synthase (, DKFP synthase, MJ1585 (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-oxopropanal:D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate glycerone-phosphotransferase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

:(1) methylglyoxal + D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate \rightleftharpoons D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + 1-deoxy-D-threo-hexo-2,5-diulose 6-phosphate :(2) methylglyoxal + D-fructose 1-phosphate \rightleftharpoons D-glyceraldehyde + 1-deoxy-D-threo-hexo-2,5-diulose 6-phosphate

This enzyme plays a key role in an alternative pathway of the biosynthesis of 3-dehydroquinate.
