Function
ACEA2_MYCTO Involved in the persistence and virulence of M.tuberculosis. Catalyzes the reversible formation of succinate and glyoxylate from isocitrate, a key step of the glyoxylate cycle, which operates as an anaplerotic route for replenishing the tricarboxylic acid cycle during growth on fatty acid substrates.[1] [2] [3]
