| UniProt code: P52704. |
| Organism: | Hevea brasiliensis (Para rubber tree) (Siphonia brasiliensis). | |
| Taxonomy: | Eukaryota; Viridiplantae; Streptophyta; Embryophyta; Tracheophyta; Spermatophyta; Magnoliopsida; eudicotyledons; Gunneridae; Pentapetalae; rosids; fabids; Malpighiales; Euphorbiaceae; Crotonoideae; Micrandreae; Hevea. | |
| Function: | Involved in cyanogenesis, the release of HCN from injured tissues. Decomposes a varieties of (R) or (S) cyanohydrins into HCN and the corresponding aldehydes and ketones. The natural substrate of this enzyme is (S)-acetone cyanohydrin. | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a monosubstituted aliphatic (S)-hydroxynitrile = an aldehyde + hydrogen cyanide; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:56588, ChEBI:CHEBI:17478, ChEBI:CHEBI:18407, ChEBI:CHEBI:140596; EC=4.1.2.47; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=a disubstituted aliphatic (S)-hydroxynitrile = a ketone + hydrogen cyanide; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:56592, ChEBI:CHEBI:17087, ChEBI:CHEBI:18407, ChEBI:CHEBI:140597; EC=4.1.2.47; | |
| Catalytic activity: | Reaction=an aromatic (S)-hydroxynitrile = an aromatic aldehyde + hydrogen cyanide; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:54660, ChEBI:CHEBI:18407, ChEBI:CHEBI:33855, ChEBI:CHEBI:138306; EC=4.1.2.47; | |
| Subunit: | Homodimer. | |
| Ptm: | The N-terminus is blocked. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the AB hydrolase superfamily. Hydroxynitrile lyase family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
