D-Erythrose 4-phosphate sodium CAS: 103302-15-4

D-Erythrose 4-phosphate sodium salt is used as a substrate to identify, differentiate and characterize various synthases that intitate the shikimate pathway in microorganisms and plants. It is a key part of the pentose phosphate pathway and acts as an intermediate not only for pentose phosphate, but for phenylalanine, tyrosine, tryptophan, and vitamin B6 metabolism as well. Malaria researchers have worked with D-Erythrose 4-phosphate sodium salt as an inhibitor of the PfPdx1 component of the PLP synthase enzymatic complex.
