Glucarate dehydratase


The enzyme glucarate dehydratase catalyzes the chemical reaction
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-glucarate hydro-lyase . Other names in common use include D-glucarate dehydratase, and D-glucarate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in ascorbate and aldarate metabolism.
