Enzyme Commission Number
EC 5.1.1.17
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
isopenicillin N = penicillin N
Systematic Name
penicillin-N 5-amino-5-carboxypentanoyl-epimerase
Function
This enzyme contains pyridoxal phosphate. 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, deactoxycephalosporin-C synthase, to produce cephalosporins. Forms part of the penicillin biosynthesis pathway (for pathway, click here).
