EC 4.1.1.112 Details
EC number
4.1.1.112
Accepted name
oxaloacetate decarboxylase
Reaction
oxaloacetate = pyruvate + CO2
Other name(s)
oxaloacetate β-decarboxylase, oxalacetic acid decarboxylase, oxalate β-decarboxylase, oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase
Systematic name
oxaloacetate carboxy-lyase (pyruvate-forming)
CAS registry number
9024-98-0
Comment
Requires a divalent metal cation. The enzymes from the fish Gadus morhua (Atlantic cod) and the bacterium Micrococcus luteus prefer Mn2+, while those from the bacteria Pseudomonas putida and Pseudomonas aeruginosa prefer Mg2+. Unlike EC 7.2.4.2 [oxaloacetate decarboxylase (Na+ extruding)], there is no evidence of the enzyme’s involvement in Na+ transport.
History
created 1961 as EC 4.1.1.3, modified 1986, modified 2000, part transferred 2018 to EC 4.1.1.112
