2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-pentonate aldolase

Class of enzymes 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-pentonate aldolase 4.1.2.28 55326-36-8 0047440 The enzyme 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-pentonate aldolase (4.1.2.28) catalyzes the chemical reaction 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-Dpentonate pyruvate + glycolaldehyde This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-pentonate glycolaldehyde-lyase (pyruvate-forming). Other names in common use include 2-keto-3-deoxy-D-pentonate aldolase, 3-deoxy-D-pentulosonic acid aldolase, and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-pentonate glycolaldehyde-lyase. This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions. References 1 Dahms AS 1974 3-Deoxy-D-pentulosonic acid aldolase and its role in a new pathway of D-xylose degradation Biochem.
