Glossary: quinate = a cyclitol carboxylate
The numbering system used for the 3-dehydroquinate is that of the recommendations on cyclitols, sections I-8 and I-9: and is shown in the reaction diagram. The use of the term '5-dehydroquinate' for this compound is based on an earlier system of numbering.
Other name(s): quinic dehydrogenase; quinate:NAD oxidoreductase; quinate 5-dehydrogenase; quinate:NAD+ 5-oxidoreductase
Systematic name: L-quinate:NAD+ 3-oxidoreductase
Comments: The enzyme is specific for quinate as substrate; phenylpyruvate, phenylalanine, cinnamate and shikimate will not act as substrates. NAD+ cannot be replaced by NADP+.
