Enzyme Information

2.4.1.33
Mannuronan synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q9HY69
GDP-alpha-D-mannuronate + ((1->4)-beta-D-mannuronosyl)(n) = GDP + ((1->4)-beta-D-mannuronosyl)(n+1).
-!- The enzyme catalyzes the polymerization of beta-D-mannuronate residues into a mannuronan polymer, an intermediate in the biosynthesis of alginate. -!- It is found in brown algae and in alginate-producing bacterial species from the Pseudomonas and Azotobacter genera.
