| Type: | Domain | Name: | Thioesterase |
| Description: | Thioesterase domains often occur integrated in or associated with peptide synthetases which are involved in the non-ribosomal synthesis of peptide antibiotics [].Thioesterases are required for the addition of the last amino acid to the peptide antibiotic, thereby forming a cyclic antibiotic. Next to the operons encoding theseenzymes, in almost all cases, are genes that encode proteins that have similarity to the type II fatty acid thioesterases of vertebrates. | Short Name: | Thioesterase |
