Enzymes that require manganese for proper function [4].

S. No. Enzyme Function
1 Prolidase Collagen recycling (Enzyme capable of degrading dipeptides)
2 Arginase Krebs-Henseleit urea cycle (Final enzyme of the urea cycle)
3 Superoxide dismutase Antioxidant (An enzyme that alternately catalyzes the dismutation of the superoxide radical into either ordinary molecular oxygen or hydrogen peroxide)
4 Glycosyl tranferases Glycosaminoglycan synthesis (Enzymes that establish natural glycosidic linkages)
5 Glutamine synthetase Glutamine synthesis (Plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen by catalyzing the condensation of glutamate and ammonia to form glutamine)
6 Isocitrate dehydrogenase Krebs cycle (Catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of isocitrate, producing alpha-ketoglutarate and CO₂)
7 Pyruvate carboxylase Gluconeogenesis (It catalyzes the physiologically irreversible carboxylation of pyruvate to form oxaloacetate)
8 Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase Gluconeogenesis (It converts oxaloacetate into phosphoenolpyruvate and carbon dioxide)
