L-fuculose-phosphate aldolase
In enzymology, a L-fuculose-phosphate aldolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-fuculose-1-phosphate, and two products, glycerone phosphate and -lactaldehyde.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is L-fuculose-1-phosphate -lactaldehyde-lyase . Other names in common use include L-fuculose 1-phosphate aldolase, fuculose aldolase, and L-fuculose-1-phosphate lactaldehyde-lyase. This enzyme participates in fructose and mannose metabolism.As of late 2007, 20 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, and.
