Description
The enzyme is involved in biosynthesis of tetrahydromethanopterin in archaea. It was initially thought to use 4-aminobenzoate as a substrate, but was later shown to utilize 4-hydroxybenzoate. The activity is dependent on Mg2+ or Mn2+.
Form
Liquid or lyophilized powder
Storage
Store it at +4 ºC for short term. For long term storage, store it at -20 ºC～-80 ºC.

Reaction
5-phospho-α-D-ribose 1-diphosphate + 4-hydroxybenzoate = 4-(β-D-ribofuranosyl)phenol 5'-phosphate + CO2 + diphosphate
