- Aconitate decarboxylase
In
enzymology , an aconitate decarboxylase (EC number|4.1.1.6) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :cis-aconitate itaconate + CO2
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
cis-aconitate , and two products,itaconate 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 cis-aconitate carboxy-lyase (itaconate-forming). Other names in common use include cis-aconitic decarboxylase, CAD, cis-aconitate carboxy-lyase, and cis-aconitate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates inc5-branched dibasic acid metabolism .References
