The phenylalaline biosynthesis pathways is connected with the chorismate biosynthesis pathway. Chorismate biosynthesis produce the chorismate, which further be converted to prephenate by P-protein. Combined with cofactor, H+, prephenate has been further converted to phenylpyruvic acid by P-protein with generated water and carbon dioxide. Phenylalanine transaminase catalyzes phenylpyruvic acid to phenylalaline, and also convert glutamic acid to oxoglutaric acid. Phenylalaline will be further used in phenylalaline metabolism.
