2-isopropylmalate synthase 2
NCBI Summary
methylthioalkymalate synthase-like. Also known as 2-isopropylmalate synthase (IMS2). encodes a methylthioalkylmalate synthase involved in the biosynthesis of aliphatic glucosinolates which accepts all the omega-methylthio-2-oxoalkanoic acids needed to form the known C3 to C8 glucosinolates in Arabidopsis.

UniProt Comments
Determines the side chain length of aliphatic glucosinolate structures. Accepts all the omega-methylthio-2-oxoalkanoic acids needed to form the known C3 to C8 glucosinolates. Also able to convert pyruvate to citramalate, 2-oxoisovalerate to isopropylmalate, 4-methyl-2-oxopentanoate and 5-methyl-2-oxohexanoate for Leu-derived glucosinolates, 3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate for Ile-derived glucosinolates and phenylpyruvate to phenylethylglucosinolate.
