Sulfolactate sulfo-lyase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, a sulfolactate sulfo-lyase (EC 4.4.1.24) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3-sulfolactate pyruvate + bisulfite
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-sulfolactate, and two products, pyruvate and bisulfite.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of carbon-sulfur lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-sulfolactate bisulfite-lyase (pyruvate-forming). Other names in common use include Suy, SuyAB, and 3-sulfolactate bisulfite-lyase.
