Accepted name: 4'-phosphopantetheine phosphatase
Reaction: 4'-phosphopantetheine + H2O = pantetheine + phosphate
Glossary: pantetheine = (2R)-2,4-dihydroxy-3,3-dimethyl-N-{3-oxo-3-[(2-sulfanylethyl)amino]propyl}butanamide
Other name(s): thnH (gene name); PANK4 (gene name)
Systematic name: 4'-phosphopantetheine phosphohydrolase
Comments: The enzyme has been characterized from mammals and from the bacterium Streptantibioticus cattleyicolor. In mammals it hydrolyses excess 4'-phosphopantetheine to prevent cell damage. In S. cattleyicolor it participates in the biosynthesis of the β-lactam antibiotic thienamycin.
