Fluorothreonine transaldolase
Enzyme
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Fluorothreonine transaldolase (EC 2.2.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
The two substrates of the enzyme characterised from Streptomyces cattleya are L-threonine and fluoroacetaldehyde. Its products are 4-fluoro-L-threonine and acetaldehyde.[1][2]
This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aldehyde or ketonic groups (transaldolases and transketolases, respectively). The systematic name of this enzyme class is fluoroacetaldehyde:L-threonine aldehydetransferase. It is pyridoxal phosphate dependent.[3]
