Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Converts 2-succinyl-6-hydroxy-2,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxylate (SHCHC) to 2-succinylbenzoate (OSB) (PubMed:24872444). Also acts as a N-succinylamino acid racemase (NSAR) that catalyzes the racemization of N-succinyl-L-phenylglycine (PubMed:24872444). Since the gene is encoded in a menaquinone synthesis operon, OSB synthase is probably the physiological activity. A pathway that requires NSAR activity has not been identified in this species, so whether NSAR is also a biological activity is unknown (PubMed:24872444).
