Low-specificity L-threonine aldolase

Low-specificity L-threonine aldolase (EC 4.1.2.48, LtaE) is an enzyme with systematic name L-threonine/L-allo-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming).^{[1][2][3][4][5]} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reactions:

L-threonine ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ glycine + acetaldehyde

L-allothreonine ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ glycine + acetaldehyde

This enzyme requires pyridoxal phosphate.
