3-hydroxyaspartate aldolase
In enzymology, a 3-hydroxyaspartate aldolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, erythro-3-hydroxy-Ls-aspartate, and two products, glycine and glyoxylate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the oxo-acid-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is erythro-3-hydroxy-Ls-aspartate glyoxylate-lyase . Other names in common use include erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartate aldolase, erythro-beta-hydroxyaspartate glycine-lyase, and erythro-3-hydroxy-Ls-aspartate glyoxylate-lyase.
