L-fuculose-phosphate aldolase
Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme L-fuculose-phosphate aldolase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- L-fuculose-1-phosphate glycerone phosphate[1] + (S)-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 (S)-lactaldehyde-lyase (glycerone-phosphate-forming). 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.
