Other name(s): PRA isomerase; PRAI; IGPS:PRAI (indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthetase/N-5'-phosphoribosylanthranilate isomerase complex); N-(5-phospho-β-D-ribosyl)anthranilate ketol-isomerase

Systematic name: N-(5-phospho-β-D-ribosyl)anthranilate aldose-ketose-isomerase

Comments: In some organisms, this enzyme is part of a multifunctional protein, together with one or more other components of the system for the biosynthesis of tryptophan [EC 2.4.2.18 (anthranilate phosphoribosyltransferase), EC 4.1.1.48 (indole-3-glycerol-phosphate synthase), EC 4.1.3.27 (anthranilate synthase) and EC 4.2.1.20 (tryptophan synthase)].
