Other name(s): hydroxyphenylpyruvate synthase; chorismate mutase—prephenate dehydrogenase

Systematic name: prephenate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)

Comments: This enzyme in the enteric bacteria also possesses chorismate mutase activity (EC 5.4.99.5 chorismate mutase) and converts chorismate into prephenate.
