Maleylpyruvate isomerase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a maleylpyruvate isomerase (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

3-maleylpyruvate $\rightleftharpoons$ 3-fumarylpyruvate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-maleylpyruvate, and one product, 3-fumarylpyruvate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically cis-trans isomerases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-maleylpyruvate cis-trans-isomerase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes Template:PDB link and Template:PDB link.
