4.1.2.5 |
| Accepted name: |
L-threonine aldolase |
| Reaction: |
L-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde |
| Other name(s): |
L-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
L-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming) |
| Comments: |
A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. This enzyme is specific for L-threonine and can not utilize L-allo-threonine. Different from EC 4.1.2.49, L-allo-threonine aldolase, and EC 4.1.2.48, low-specificity L-threonine aldolase. |
