In enzymology, a D-serine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.18) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-serine \rightleftharpoons pyruvate + NH3

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, D- in common use include D-hydroxyaminoacid dehydratase, D-serine dehydrase, D-hydroxy amino acid dehydratase, D-serine hydrolase, D-serine dehydratase (deaminating), D-serine deaminase, and D-serine hydro-lyase (deaminating). This enzyme participates in glycine, serine and threonine metabolism. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
