Enzyme Commission Number
EC 5.1.3.31
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
(1) D-tagatose = D-sorbose
(2) D-psicose = D-fructose
Systematic Name
D-tagatose 3-epimerase
Function
The enzymes isolated from the bacteria Pseudomonas cichorii, Pseudomonas sp. ST-24, Rhodobacter sphaeroides and Mesorhizobium loti catalyse the epimerization of various ketoses at the C-3 position, interconverting D-fructose and D-psicose, D-tagatose and D-sorbose, D-ribulose and D-xylulose, and L-ribulose and L-xylulose. The specificity depends on the species. The enzymes from Pseudomonas cichorii and Rhodobacter sphaeroides require Mn2+.
Other name
L-ribulose 3-epimerase; ketose 3-epimerase
