L-Lys-D/L-Arg epimerase

356 amino acids

Catalyzes the epimerization of L-Lys-L-Arg to L-Lys-D-Arg. Can also catalyze the epimerization of other cationic dipeptides, such as L-Arg-L-Arg, L-Lys-L-Lys and L-Lys-L-His, but with lower efficiency (in vitro).

Belongs to the mandelate racemase/muconate lactonizing enzyme family.
