Product Information
Name:D-Shikimic acid
Brand:Biosynth
Description:D-Shikimic acid is a crucial biochemical compound, which is an intermediate in the biosynthesis of many aromatic compounds. It is predominantly sourced from the fruits of Illicium verum, commonly known as the star anise plant, though it can also be produced through fermentation processes using genetically modified Escherichia coli. Its mode of action is as a precursor in the pathway leading to the formation of aromatic amino acids and various secondary metabolites through the shikimate pathway. This pathway is not present in humans and animals, making it a target for antimicrobial agents in plants and bacteria.
