In enzymology, a staphylopine synthase (EC 1.5.1.52) is an enzyme that catalyzes NADPH-dependent reductive condensation of pyruvate to the intermediate (2S)-2-amino-4-{[(1R)-1-carboxy-2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]amino}butanoate, which is the last step in the biosynthesis of the metallophore staphylopine.[1] The chemical reaction is:

H2O + NADP+ + staphylopine = (2S)-2-amino-4-{[(1R)-1-carboxy-2-(1H-imidazol-4-yl)ethyl]amino}butanoate + H+ + NADPH + pyruvate[2]

Alternative name(s): staphylopine dehydrogenase.
