- D-lysine 2,5-diaminohexanoate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, D-lysine, and one product, 2,5-diaminohexanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring amino groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-2,6-diaminohexanoate 5,6-aminomutase. Other names in common use include D-alpha-lysine mutase, and adenosylcobalamin-dependent D-lysine 5,6-aminomutase. This enzyme participates in lysine degradation. It employs one cofactor, cobamide.
