EC number
1.14.20.9
Accepted name
L-tyrosine isonitrile desaturase
Reaction
(2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate + 2-oxoglutarate + O2 = (2E)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanoprop-2-enoate + succinate + CO2 + H2O
Other name(s)
pvcB (gene name)
Systematic name
(2S)-3-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-isocyanopropanoate,2-oxoglutarate:oxygen oxidoreductase
