[heparosan]-D-glucuronate 5-epimerase
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.
no activity with [heparosan]-N-sulfate D-glucuronate. At equilibrium of the epimerization, the proportion of IdoA in the reaction product reaches up to 30% of total hexuronic acid
