| Official Name |
| Cystathionine beta-lyase.
|
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Beta C-S lyase. |
| Beta-cystathionase. |
| Cysteine lyase. |
| Cystine lyase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| L-cystathionine + H(2)O <=> L-homocysteine + NH(3) + pyruvate |
| Cofactor(s) |
| Pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
|
| Comment(s) |
- The enzyme from some sources also acts on L-cystine, forming
pyruvate, ammonia and cysteine persulfide, and a number of related
compounds.
- Possibly identical, in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, with EC 4.4.1.6.
