IntEnz Enzyme Nomenclature
EC 3.1.3.73

Names

Accepted name:
adenosylcobalamin/α-ribazole phosphatase
Other names:
CobC
adenosylcobalamin phosphatase
α-ribazole phosphatase
Systematic name:
adenosylcobalamin/α-ribazole-5'-phosphate phosphohydrolase

Reactions

Comments:

This enzyme catalyses the last step in the anaerobic (early cobalt insertion) pathway of adenosylcobalamin biosynthesis, characterized in Salmonella enterica [3]. It also participates in a salvage pathway that recycles cobinamide into adenosylcobalamin [1].
