Type: | Domain | Name: | Histidine decarboxylase proenzyme, subdomain |
Description: | This entry represents a structural subdomain found in Histidine decarboxylase proenzyme. This subdomain has an irregular structure containing both beta-strand and alpha-helical regions. These proteins form heterohexamers [].Histidine decarboxylase catalyses the formation of histamine from histidine. It requires a pyruvoyl group for its activity. Cleavage of the proenzyme PI chain yields two subunits, alpha and beta, which arrange as a hexamer (alpha beta) 6 by nonhydrolytic self-catalysis. | Short Name: | Pyr-dep_his-deCO2ase_subdom |
