The enzyme participates in methanopterin biosynthesis the archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus. The enzyme is specific for 7,8-dihydroneopterin 3′-phosphate. cf. EC 4.1.2.25, dihydroneopterin aldolase and EC 4.1.2.60, dihydroneopterin triphosphate aldolase.
The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Pyrococcus furiosus
