Figure 3.
The anabolism of β-alanine via the propionate pathway. The enzymes shown in the figure correspond to the following EC numbers: propionate CoA ligase = [EC 6.2.1.17]; medium chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase = [EC 1.3.8.7]; 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA dehydratase = [EC 4.2.1.116]; 3-hydroxypropionyl-CoA hydrolase = [EC 3.1.2.4]; 3-hydroxypropionate dehydrogenase = [EC 1.1.1.59], and β-alanine-pyruvate transaminase = [EC 2.6.1.18].
