Other name(s): PAH; proclavaminate amidino hydrolase
Systematic name: amidinoproclavaminate amidinohydrolase
Comments: Forms part of the pathway for the biosythesis of the β-lactamase inhibitor clavulanate in Streptomyces clavuligerus. It carries out an intermediary reaction between the first reaction of EC 1.14.11.21, clavaminate synthase, and the second and third reactions of that enzyme. Requires Mn2+.
