Probable aconitate hydratase, mitochondrial Mouse mAb for Silkworm

The protein is an enzyme that catalyses the stereo-specific isomerization of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle, a non-redox-active process. Besides interconverting citrate and cis-aconitate, it also interconverts cis-aconitate with isocitrate and, hence, interconverts citrate and isocitrate. The equilibrium mixture is 91% citrate, 6% isocitrate and 3% aconitate. The protein is an iron-sulfur protein, containing a [4Fe-4S] cluster to which the substrate binds.
