| Type: | Family | Name: | Pimeloyl-[acyl-carrier protein] methyl ester esterase |
| Description: | This CoA-binding enzyme is required for the production of pimeloyl-coenzyme A, the substrate of the BioF protein early in the biosynthesis of biotin []. Its exact function is unknown, but it has been shown to possess carboxylesterase activity with a preference for short acyl chain substrates []. This enzyme belongs to the alpha/beta hydrolase fold family. Members of this family are restricted to the Proteobacteria. | Short Name: | BioH |
