This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides to catalyse transmembrane movement of substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is ATP phosphohydrolase (iron-chelate-importing). This enzyme participates in abc transporters - general.
Structural studies
As of late 2007, 3 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1L2P, 1L6T, and 2IHY.
