Biodegradative arginine decarboxylase

UniProtKB accession:  P28629

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the acid-resistance (AR) system allowing enteric pathogens to survive the acidic environment in the stomach (Probable). ADC can be found in two forms: biodegradative (this enzyme) and biosynthetic (speA). The biodegradative form plays a role in regulating pH by consuming proteins. Converts arginine imported by AdiC to agmatine which is then exported by AdiC (Probable).
