| Official Name |
|---|
| Branched-chain-2-oxoacid decarboxylase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
|---|
| (3S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate carboxy-lyase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
|---|
| (3S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate <=> 2-methylbutanal + CO(2) |
| Comment(s) |
|---|
- Acts on a number of 2-oxo acids, with a high affinity toward
branched-chain substrates.
- The aldehyde formed may be enzyme-bound, and may be an intermediate
in the bacterial system for biosynthesis of branched-chain fatty
acids.
