UDP-galactopyranose mutase

In enzymology, an UDP-galactopyranose mutase (EC number|5.4.99.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:UDP-D-galactopyranose $ightleftharpoons$ UDP-D-galacto-1,4-furanose

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, UDP-D-galactopyranose, and one product, UDP-D-galacto-1,4-furanose.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular transferases transferring other groups. The systematic name of this enzyme class is UDP-D-galactopyranose furanomutase.

tructural studies

As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes PDB link|1I8T, PDB link|1V0J, PDB link|1WAM, PDB link|2BI7, and PDB link|2BI8.
