- 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-decarboxylase
In
enzymology , a 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-decarboxylase (EC number|4.1.1.51) is anenzyme that catalyzes thechemical reaction :3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate + CO2
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate,
3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate , and two products,3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate 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 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-carboxy-lyase (3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate-forming). This enzyme is also called 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-4,5-dicarboxylate 4-carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates invitamin b6 metabolism .References
