The 1-deoxy- D -xylulose-5-phosphate synthase (DOXP) is an enzyme from the methylerythritol phosphate pathway (also DOXP pathway) in plants and protists , which the conversion of
- Pyruvate + glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate 1-deoxy- D - xylulose-5-phosphate + CO 2
catalyzed. DOXP is one of the transferases . The name DXP-Synthase (DXS) can be used synonymously.
