General Information
Term pyrroloquinoline quinone biosynthetic process ID (Ontology) GO:0018189 (Gene Ontology)
Definition The chemical reactions and pathways resulting in the formation of the cofactor pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ); it is synthesized from a small peptide containing tyrosine and glutamic acid; these amino acids in the peptide are multiply cross-linked and the rest of the peptide is removed.[ PubMed:7665488 ]
Also Known As "coenzyme pyrroloquinoline-quinone biosynthesis" ; "coenzyme pyrroloquinoline-quinone biosynthetic process" ; "PQQ biosynthesis" (for all, see Synonyms field below)
