Shikimic acid is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants and organisms. One notable role of shikimic acid involves its participation as a substrate for several enzyme systems, including the enzyme transaminase. Transaminase is known for its catalytic ability to facilitate the transfer of an amino group from one molecule to another. Additionally, Shikimic acid is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids.
