Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Involved in the biosynthesis of the macrocyclic amino acid-linked polyketides FK506 and FK520 which are potent immunosuppressants that prevent T-cell proliferation through initial binding to the immunophilin FKBP12. Catalyzes the hydrolysis of chorismate via a 1,4-conjugate elimination of water to yield (4R,5R)-4,5-dihydroxycyclohexa-1,5-dienecarboxylic acid (DCDC).
