Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a hydroxypyruvate isomerase (Template:EnzExplorer) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- hydroxypyruvate 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoate
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, hydroxypyruvate, and one product, 2-hydroxy-3-oxopropanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically those intramolecular oxidoreductases interconverting aldoses and ketoses. The systematic name of this enzyme class is hydroxypyruvate aldose-ketose-isomerase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.
