Metabolite Identification
Common NameTetrahydropteridine
DescriptionTetrahydropteridine is a member of the chemical class known as Pteridines and Derivatives. These are polycyclic aromatic compounds containing a pteridine moiety, which consists of a pyrimidine fused to a pyrazine ring to form pyrimido(4,5-b)pyrazine. In a reversible reaction catalyzed by a nitroreductase / dihydropteridine reductase (EC 1.5.1.34), tetrahydropteridine can be converted to dihydropteridine while reducing NAD(P)+ to NAD(P)H. (KEGG)
