| EC | 5.1.3.36 | ||
| Accepted name: | heparosan-glucuronate 5-epimerase | ||
| Reaction: | [heparosan]-D-glucuronate = [acharan]-L-iduronate | ||
| Glossary: | acharan = [GlcNAc-α-(1→4)-IdoA-α-(1→4)]n heparosan = [GlcNAc-α-(1→4)-GlcA-β-(1→4)]n |
||
| Other name(s): | HG-5epi | ||
| Systematic name: | [heparosan]-D-glucuronate 5-epimerase | ||
| Comments: | 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. | ||
