Type: | Family | Name: | FAD-dependent oxidoreductase, HpnW |
Description: | This entry represents a clade of FAD-dependent oxidoreductases syntenically associated with a family of proposed phosphonatase-like enzymes () and is also found (less frequently) in association with phosphonate transporter components. A likely role for this enzyme involves the oxidative deamination of an aminophosphonate differing slightly from 2-aminoethylphosphonate, possibly 1-hydroxy-2-aminoethylphosphonate (see the comments for ). Many members of the larger FAD-dependent oxidoreductase family act as amino acid oxidative deaminases. | Short Name: | FAD-dependent_OxRdtase_HpnW |
