Comments
There are several subfamilies of the homologous enzymes, such as zinc-dependent (S00239, S00538 in EzCatDB), and zinc-independent (S00537, S00539) subfamilies. This enzyme belongs to zinc-dependent subfamily.
The catalytic reaction of this enzyme must be the same as that of its homologue (S00239 in EzCatDB).
