4.1.1.11 L-aspartate - 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate essential for beta-alanine synthesis, involved in pantothenate biosynthesis 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate involved in pantothenate biosynthesis 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate involved in the biosynthesis of pantothenate 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate major route of beta-alanine production essential for the biosynthesis of pantothenate 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate one of the most crucial steps in the pantothenate synthesis pathway 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate step in the major route of beta-alanine production for pantothenate biosynthesis in bacteria 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate the enzyme is a critical regulatory enzyme in the pantothenate biosynthetic pathway 4.1.1.11 L-aspartate the product beta-alanine is required for the biosynthesis of coenzyme A 4.1.1.11 additional information the enzyme is a glutamate decarboxylase (GAD) homologue encoded by gene TK1814. The recombinant bifunctional TK1814 protein displays not only GAD activity but also ADC activity using pyridoxal 5'-phosphate as a cofactor
