KEGG   ENZYME: 4.1.2.5
Entry
EC 4.1.2.5                  Enzyme                                 
Name
L-threonine aldolase;
L-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-carbon lyases;
Aldehyde-lyases
Sysname
L-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming)
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde [RN:R00751]
Reaction(KEGG)
R00751
Substrate
L-threonine [CPD:C00188]
Product
glycine [CPD:C00037];
acetaldehyde [CPD:C00084]
Comment
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.
History
