2-methylisocitrate dehydratase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme 2-methylisocitrate dehydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

(2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate $\rightleftharpoons$ (Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate + H₂O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase [(Z)-but-2-ene-1,2,3-tricarboxylate-forming]. This enzyme is also called (2S,3R)-3-hydroxybutane-1,2,3-tricarboxylate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in propanoate metabolism.
