Superfamily 3.40.50.970
Functional Family N(2)-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine synthase

Enzyme Information

2.5.1.66
N(2)-(2-carboxyethyl)arginine synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9LCV9
D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate + L-arginine = N(2)-(2-carboxyethyl)-L- arginine + phosphate.
-!- Requires thiamine diphosphate and catalyzes the first step in the clavulanic-acid biosynthesis pathway. -!- The 2-hydroxy-3-oxo group transferred from glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate is isomerized during transfer to form the 2-carboxyethyl group.
