IUBMB Comments

A pyridoxal-phosphate protein that requires a divalent cation for activity . N4-Acetyl-L-2,4-diaminobutanoate, 2,3-diaminopropanoate, ornithine and lysine are not substrates. Found in the proteobacteria Haemophilus influenzae and Acinetobacter baumannii. In the latter, this enzyme is cotranscribed with the dat gene that encodes EC 2.6.1.76, diaminobutyrate—2-oxoglutarate transaminase, which can supply the substrate for this enzyme.

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Bacteria, Archaea, Eukaryota

Synonyms
daba dc, l-2,4-diaminobutyrate decarboxylase, daba decarboxylase, daba-dc, l-2,4-diaminobutyric acid decarboxylase, more
