FunFam 4: Probable alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase mcr

There are 2 EC terms in this cluster

Please note: EC annotations are assigned to the full protein sequence rather than individual protein domains. Since a given protein can contain multiple domains, it is possible that some of the annotations below come from additional domains that occur in the same protein, but have been classified elsewhere in CATH.

Note: The search results have been sorted with the annotations that are found most frequently at the top of the list. The results can be filtered by typing text into the search box at the top of the table.

EC Term Annotations Evidence
Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase. [EC: 5.1.99.4]
(2S)-2-methylacyl-CoA = (2R)-2-methylacyl-CoA.
  • Alpha-methyl-branched acyl-CoA derivatives with chain lengths of more than C(10) are substrates.
  • Also active toward some aromatic compounds (e.g. ibuprofen) and bile acid intermediates, such as trihydroxycoprostanoyl-CoA.
  • Not active toward free acids.
3 O09174 P70473 Q9UHK6
Isopenicillin-N epimerase. [EC: 5.1.1.17]
Isopenicillin N = penicillin N.
  • Epimerization at C-5 of the 5-amino-5-carboxypentanoyl group to form penicillin N is required to make a substrate for EC 1.14.20.1, to produce cephalosporins.
  • Forms part of the penicillin biosynthesis pathway.
