itaconate = 2-methylenesuccinate
Other name(s): TAD1 (gene name)
Systematic name: trans-aconitate carboxy-lyase (itaconate-forming)
Comments: The enzyme, characterized from the smut fungus Ustilago maydis, is involved in an alternative pathway for the biosynthesis of itaconate. cf. EC 4.1.1.6, cis-aconitate decarboxylase.
