| Other name(s): |
MccB; O-acetylserine dependent cystathionine β-synthase |
| Systematic name: |
O-acetyl-L-serine:L-homocysteine 2-amino-2-carboxyethyltransferase |
| Comments: |
A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme, purified from the bacterium Bacillus subtilis, also has a low activity with L-serine (cf. EC 4.2.1.22, cystathionine β-synthase). |
