Altronate dehydratase

Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme altronate dehydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

D-altronate $\rightleftharpoons$ 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate + 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 D-altronate hydro-lyase (2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate-forming). This enzyme is also called D-altronate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in pentose and glucuronate interconversions.
