Primary Identifier | IPR022598 | Type | Family |
Short Name | FcoT_ThioEstase |
description | Proteins in this family have a HotDog fold. This family was formerly known as DUF2662. The structure of FcoT from M. tuberculosis []suggested a thioesterase function. Assays showed that this protein was a thioesterase with a preference for long chain fatty acyl groups []. The maximal Kcat was observed for palmitoyl-CoA, although longer and shorter molecules were also cleaved. In solution this protein forms a homo-hexameric complex. |
