S-3-p is the substrate for 5-Enolpyruvoyl-shikimate 3-phosphate synthase (EPSPS) which is the target for the broad-spectrum herbicide N-(phosphonomethyl)glycine(glyphosate).
ChEBI: 3-phosphoshikimic acid is a phosphoshikimic acid. It has a role as an Escherichia coli metabolite. It is functionally related to a shikimic acid. It is a conjugate acid of a 3-phosphonatoshikimate(3-).
Substrate of the pivotal EPSP synthase in the shikimate - chorismic acid pathway of most plants and many microorganisms.
