Thiazole tautomerase (EC 5.3.99.10, tenI (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name 2-(2-carboxy-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethyl phosphate isomerase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

2-[(2R,5Z)-2-carboxy-4-methylthiazol-5(2H)-ylidene]ethyl phosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 2-(2-carboxy-4-methylthiazol-5-yl)ethyl phosphate

The enzyme catalyses the irreversible aromatization of the thiazole moiety of 2-[(2R,5Z)-2-carboxy-4-methylthiazol-5(2H)-ylidene]ethyl phosphate.
