Beta-alanyl-CoA ammonia-lyase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a beta-alanyl-CoA ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- beta-alanyl-CoA acryloyl-CoA + NH3
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, beta-alanyl-CoA, and two products, acryloyl-CoA and NH3.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically ammonia lyases, which cleave carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is beta-alanyl-CoA ammonia-lyase (acryloyl-CoA-forming). This enzyme is also called beta-alanyl coenzyme A ammonia-lyase. This enzyme participates in beta-alanine metabolism and propanoate metabolism.
