- 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase
In
enzymology , a 4-oxalocrotonate decarboxylase (EC number|4.1.1.77) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :4-oxalocrotonate 2-oxopent-4-enoate + CO2
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
4-oxalocrotonate , and two products,2-oxopent-4-enoate and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of
lyase s, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-oxalocrotonate carboxy-lyase (2-oxopent-4-enoate-forming). This enzyme is also called 4-oxalocrotonate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in 3 metabolic pathways:benzoate degradation via hydroxylation ,toluene and xylene degradation , andfluorene degradation .References
