Tyrosine 2,3-aminomutase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a tyrosine 2,3-aminomutase (EC 5.4.3.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-tyrosine 3-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-tyrosine, and one product, 3-amino-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)propanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring amino groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-tyrosine 2,3-aminomutase. This enzyme is also called tyrosine alpha,beta-mutase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, ATP.
