D-cysteine desulfhydrase
In enzymology, a D-cysteine desulfhydrase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are D-cysteine and H2O, whereas its 3 products are sulfide, NH3, and pyruvate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of carbon-sulfur lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-cysteine sulfide-lyase . Other names in common use include D-cysteine lyase, and D-cysteine sulfide-lyase . This enzyme participates in cysteine metabolism.
