- Thiamine-triphosphatase
In
enzymology , a thiamine-triphosphatase (EC number|3.6.1.28) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :thiamine triphosphate + H2O thiamine diphosphate + phosphate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are
thiamine triphosphate and H2O, whereas its two products arethiamine diphosphate andphosphate .This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolase s, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is thiamine-triphosphate phosphohydrolase. This enzyme participates inthiamine metabolism .tructural studies
As of late 2007, only one structure has been solved for this class of enzymes, with the PDB accession code PDB link|2JMU.
