asp-glu_1_decarboxylase
Description Aspartate/Glutamate 1-decarboxylase (4.1.1.-)
Catalyzed reaction L-aspartate = β-alanine + CO(2)
L-glutamate = 4-aminobutanoate + CO(2).
Cofactor Pyridoxal-phosphate.
The recombinant protein from T. kodakaensis prefers L-Asp as its substrate rather than L-Glu, with nearly a 20-fold difference in catalytic efficiency.

In other enzymes, the two aminoacids react with similar efficiencies, or L-Glu is preferred.

In metazoa, L-Asp decarboxylation is carried out by Sulfinoalanine decarboxylase (4.1.1.29).
