Native Bovine Tautomerase
In enzymology, phenylpyruvate tautomerase or Macrophage migration inhibitory factor (EC 5.3.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:keto-phenylpyruvate enol-phenylpyruvate. Phenylpyruvate tautomerase has also been found to exhibit the same keto-enol tautomerism for 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid, which is structurally similar to phenylpyruvate but contains an additional hydroxyl moiety in the para position of the aromatic ring. This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting keto-and enol-groups. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism and phenylalanine metabolism.
