Type: | Conserved_site | Name: | Pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase, conserved site |
Description: | Pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase () is a FMN flavoprotein involved in the de novo synthesis of pyridoxine (vitamin B6) and pyridoxal phosphate. It oxidizes pyridoxamine-5-P (PMP) and pyridoxine-5-P(PNP) to pyridoxal-5-P. The sequences of the enzyme from bacterial (genes pdxH or fprA) [] andfungal (gene PDX3) [] sources show that this protein has been highly conserved throughoutevolution. PdxH is evolutionary related [] to one of the enzymes in the phenazine biosynthesisprotein pathway, phzD (also known as phzG).This entry represents a highly conserved region located in the C-terminal part of these enzymes. | Short Name: | Pyridox_Oxase_CS |
