Enzyme Information
| 4.2.1.108 |
Ectoine synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q1GNW6
N(4)-acetyl-L-2,4-diaminobutanoate = L-ectoine + H(2)O.
-!- Ectoine is an osmoprotectant that is found in halophilic eubacteria. -!- This enzyme is part of the ectoine biosynthesis pathway and only acts in the direction of ectoine formation. -!- Cf. EC 3.5.4.44.
