Lactoyl-CoA dehydratase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a lactoyl-CoA dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.54) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- lactoyl-CoA acryloyl-CoA + H2O
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, lactoyl-CoA, and two products, acryloyl-CoA and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is lactoyl-CoA hydro-lyase (acryloyl-CoA-forming). Other names in common use include lactoyl coenzyme A dehydratase, lactyl-coenzyme A dehydrase, lactyl CoA dehydratase, acrylyl coenzyme A hydratase, and lactoyl-CoA hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in propanoate metabolism and styrene degradation.
