Maleate isomerase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a maleate isomerase (EC 5.2.1.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- maleate fumarate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, maleate, and one product, fumarate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically cis-trans isomerases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is maleate cis-trans-isomerase. This enzyme participates in butanoate metabolism and nicotinate and nicotinamide metabolism.
