Methylitaconate Delta-isomerase

Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a methylitaconate Δ-isomerase (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

methylitaconate $\rightleftharpoons$ 2,3-dimethylmaleate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, methylitaconate, and one product, 2,3-dimethylmaleate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases transposing C=C bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is methylitaconate Delta2-Delta3-isomerase. This enzyme is also called methylitaconate isomerase. This enzyme participates in c5-branched dibasic acid metabolism.
