Name | nitrilase 2 | Brief Description | nitrilase 2 |
TAIR Computational Description | nitrilase 2;(source:Araport11) |
TAIR Curator Summary | Encodes an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of indole-3-acetonitrile (IAN) to indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) (nitrile aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.5.1) and IAN to indole-3-acetamide (IAM) at lower levels. Mutants have reduced sensitivity to IAN and are sensitive to IAA. This enzyme likely participates in other non-auxin-related metabolic pathways. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile. |
