General annotation (Comments)

Function	Provides the (R)-glutamate required for cell wall biosynthesis. Converts L- or D-glutamate to D- or L-glutamate, respectively, but not other amino acids such as alanine, aspartate, and glutamine By similarity. HAMAP MF_00258
Catalytic activity	L-glutamate = D-glutamate. HAMAP MF_00258
Pathway	Cell wall biogenesis; peptidoglycan biosynthesis. HAMAP MF_00258
Subunit structure	Homodimer By similarity. HAMAP MF_00258
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the aspartate/glutamate racemases family.
