Methylthioribulose-1-Phosphate Dehydratase

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Methylthioribulose-1-phosphate dehydratase (242 aa, ~27 kDa) is encoded by the human APIP gene. This protein is involved in the dehydration of methylthioribulose-1-phosphate (MTRu-1-P) into 2,3-diketo-5-methylthiopentyl-1-phosphate (DK-MTP-1-P) for methionine salvage.
