4.4.1.2 |
| Description |
Homocysteine desulfhydrase. |
| Alternative names |
Homocysteine desulfurase.
Homocysteine alpha-,gamma-lyase |
| Catalyzed reaction |
L-homocysteine + H(2)O = H(2)S + NH(3) + 2-oxobutanoate. |
| Cofactor |
Pyridoxal-phosphate. |
| Comments |
The known enzymes catalyzing this reaction (e.g., an enzyme from Trichomonas vaginalis) also possess a substantial methionine gamma-lyase activity.
The corresponding sequences have been therefore grouped in family 4.4.1.11. |
