L-Ala-D/L-Glu epimerase

356 amino acids

Dipeptide epimerase with a preference for substrates containing a Glu residue in the second position. Catalyzes the epimerization of L-Ala-L-Glu, L-Ser-L-Glu, L-Thr-L-Glu, L-Val-L-Glu, L-Gly-L-Glu and L-Thr-L-Glu (in vitro). May play a role in the metabolism of the murein peptide, of which L-Ala-D-Glu is a component.

Belongs to the mandelate racemase/muconate lactonizing enzyme family.
