Type: | Family | Name: | Putative methanogenesis marker protein 10 |
Description: | Members of this protein family, to date, are found in a completed prokaryotic genome if and only if the species is one of the archaeal methanogens. It is a radical SAM enzyme by homology. The exact function is unknown, but likely is linked to methanogenesis. In most genomes, the member of this family is encoded by a gene next to, and divergently transcribed from, the methyl coenzyme M reductase operon. | Short Name: | Methan_mark_10 |
