catalyses the fifth step in the biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids ( ) from chorismate (see also AroQ). It is part of a multifunctional enyzme found in bacteria, plants and fungi, but not in animals. belongs to the shikimate kinase and catalyses the following reaction:

ATP + shikimate = ADP + shikimate 3-phosphate ( )
