EC 5.1.3.36 Details
EC number
5.1.3.36
Accepted name
heparosan-glucuronate 5-epimerase
Reaction
[heparosan]-D-glucuronate = [acharan]-L-iduronate
Other name(s)
HG-5epi
Systematic name
[heparosan]-D-glucuronate 5-epimerase
Comment
The enzyme, characterized from the giant African snail Achatina fulica, participates in the biosynthetic pathway of acharan sulfate. Unlike EC 5.1.3.17, heparosan-N-sulfate-glucuronate 5-epimerase, it shows no activity with D-glucuronate residues in heparosan-N-sulfate.
