Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent sulfate ester dioxygenase

UniProtKB accession:  Q9WWU5

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalyzes the oxygenolytic cleavage of 2-ethylhexyl sulfate (2-EHS) in the presence of alpha-ketoglutarate to yield 2-ethyl-hexanal and succinate, the decarboxylated form of alpha-ketoglutarate. It can accept a wide range of alpha-keto acids including 2-oxo-valerate, 2-oxo-adipate, 2-oxo-octanoate, 3-methyl-2-oxo-butyrate, oxaloacetate-alpha-ketoadipate, and alpha-ketooctanoate. It can catalyze the cleavage of medium-chain alkyl sulfate esters such as butylsulfate, pentylsulfate, hexylsulfate, heptylsulfate, octylsulfate, nonylsulfate, decylsulfate and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).
