Enzyme Commission Number
EC 4.1.1.72
Product Overview
High-quality enzyme products.
Well-established quality management system.
Reaction
(3S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate = 2-methylbutanal + CO2
Systematic Name
(3S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate carboxy-lyase (2-methylbutanal-forming)
Function
Acts on a number of 2-oxo acids, with a high affinity towards branched-chain substrates. The aldehyde formed may be enzyme-bound, and may be an intermediate in the bacterial system for the biosynthesis of branched-chain fatty acids.
Other name
branched-chain oxo acid decarboxylase; branched-chain α-keto acid decarboxylase; branched-chain keto acid decarboxylase; BCKA; (3S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate carboxy-lyase
