CYP119A1 explained

CYP119A1
Organism:Sulfolobus solfataricus
Taxid:273057
Symbol:CYP119A1

Cytochrome P450 family 119 subfamily A member 1 (abbreviated CYP119A1) is an Archaeal Cytochrome P450 enzyme originally from the thermophillic archea Sulfolobus solfataricus.[1] Because this enzyme usually has the maximum activity at high temperature and low activity at room temperature, it is often used in the study of enzyme catalytic mechanism.[2]
