EC 5.5.1.4     
Accepted name: inositol-3-phosphate synthase
Reaction: D-glucose 6-phosphate = 1D-myo-inositol 3-phosphate

Other name(s): myo-inositol-1-phosphate synthase; D-glucose 6-phosphate cycloaldolase; inositol 1-phosphate synthatase; glucose 6-phosphate cyclase; inositol 1-phosphate synthetase; glucose-6-phosphate inositol monophosphate cycloaldolase; glucocycloaldolase; 1L-myo-inositol-1-phosphate lyase (isomerizing)
Systematic name: 1D-myo-inositol-3-phosphate lyase (isomerizing)
Comments: Requires NAD+, which dehydrogenates the -CHOH- group to -CO- at C-5 of the glucose 6-phosphate, making C-6 into an active methylene, able to condense with the -CHO at C-1. Finally, the enzyme-bound NADH reconverts C-5 into the -CHOH- form.
