Pteropterin (CAT: I035181) is a naturally occurring compound and an intermediate in the biosynthesis of biopterin, a cofactor involved in various biological processes. Pteropterin is known for its role in the metabolism of folate, as it serves as a precursor in the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an important cofactor for the enzymes involved in the synthesis of neurotransmitters such as serotonin and dopamine. Additionally, pteropterin has been studied for its potential as a biomarker in certain diseases, including cancer and inflammatory conditions.
