- 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-pentonate aldolase
In
enzymology , a 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-pentonate aldolase (EC number|4.1.2.18) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-pentonate pyruvate + glycolaldehyde
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-pentonate , and two products,pyruvate andglycolaldehyde .This enzyme belongs to the family of
lyase s, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-pentonate glycolaldehyde-lyase (pyruvate-forming). Other names in common use include 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-pentonate aldolase, 2-keto-3-deoxy-L-arabonate aldolase, 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-xylonate aldolase, 3-deoxy-D-pentulosonic acid aldolase, and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-L-pentonate glycolaldehyde-lyase. This enzyme participates infructose and mannose metabolism .References
