Description

AI-generatedUnreviewed
This family of proteins includes enzymes that are primarily involved in the biosynthesis of pantothenic acid, a precursor for the synthesis of coenzyme A. Members of this family are known to catalyze the NAD(P)H-dependent reduction of ketopantoate to pantoic acid, which is a key step in the production of pantothenate. Some proteins within this family may also participate in the biosynthesis of host-selective toxins in certain plant pathogens, contributing to disease processes. The activity of these enzymes can be regulated by feedback inhibition mechanisms, such as the binding of coenzyme A, which can lead to conformational changes and inhibition of enzymatic activity.
