Protein Domain : Isopentenyl-diphosphate delta-isomerase, FMN-dependent

Primary Identifier  IPR011179 Type  Family
Short Name  IPdP_isomerase
description  This entry represents the bacterial and archaeal isopentenyl-diphosphate delta-isomerase (IPP isomerase). IPP isomerase catalyses the interconversion of isopentenyl diphosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl diphosphate (DMAPP), and is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of isoprenoids via the mevalonate pathway. The bacterial and archaeal IPP isomerase (type 2 enzyme) differs from that found in eukaryotes (type 1 enzyme), and requires NADPH, magnesium, and FMN for activity [, ].
