Names

Accepted name:
aspartate 4-decarboxylase
Other names:
L-aspartate β-decarboxylase
L-cysteine sulfinate acid desulfinase
aminomalonic decarboxylase
aspartate β-decarboxylase
aspartate ω-decarboxylase
aspartic β-decarboxylase
aspartic ω-decarboxylase
cysteine sulfinic desulfinase
desulfinase
L-aspartate 4-carboxy-lyase
Systematic name:
L-aspartate 4-carboxy-lyase (L-alanine-forming)

Reaction

Cofactor

Comments:

A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Also catalyses the decarboxylation of aminomalonate (formerly listed as EC 4.1.1.10), and the desulfination of 3-sulfino-L-alanine to sulfite and alanine.
