2-iminobutanoate/2-iminopropanoate deaminase

UniProtKB accession:  P37552

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Accelerates the release of ammonia from reactive enamine/imine intermediates of the PLP-dependent threonine dehydratase (IlvA) in the low water environment of the cell. It catalyzes the deamination of enamine/imine intermediates to yield 2-ketobutyrate and ammonia. It is required for the detoxification of reactive intermediates of IlvA due to their highly nucleophilic abilities. Involved in the isoleucine biosynthesis.
