Enzyme Commission Number
EC 2.5.1.74
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
an all-trans-polyprenyl diphosphate + 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate = a demethylmenaquinol + diphosphate + CO2
Systematic Name
all-trans-polyprenyl diphosphate:1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate polyprenyltransferase
Function
This enzyme catalyses a step in the synthesis of menaquinone, in which the prenyl chain synthesized by polyprenyl diphosphate synthase is transferred to 1,4-dihydroxy-2-naphthoate (DHNA). The bacterial enzyme is an inner membrane protein, with the C-terminus located in the periplasm. It is highly specific for DHNA but not for a specific length of the prenyl chain.
