Aminopyrimidine aminohydrolase
Template:Infobox enzyme Aminopyrimidine aminohydrolase (Template:EC number, thiaminase, thiaminase II, tenA (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 4-amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine aminohydrolase.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction
- (1) 4-amino-5-aminomethyl-2-methylpyrimidine + H2O 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine + ammonia
- (2) thiamine + H2O 4-amino-5-hydroxymethyl-2-methylpyrimidine + 5-(2-hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazole
This enzyme was previously known as thiaminase II.
