  • Deaminase, Threonine
  • Dehydrase, Threonine
  • Threonine Ammonia Lyase

Scope note

  • A pyridoxal-phosphate protein that catalyzes the deamination of THREONINE to 2-ketobutyrate and AMMONIA. The role of this enzyme can be biosynthetic or biodegradative. In the former role it supplies 2-ketobutyrate required for ISOLEUCINE biosynthesis, while in the latter it is only involved in the breakdown of threonine to supply energy. This enzyme was formerly listed as EC 4.2.1.16.

History note

  • 78(75); was see under HYDRO-LYASES 1975-77
