Enzyme Information
| 4.1.1.74 | Indolepyruvate decarboxylase. based on mapping to UniProt P06169 3-(indol-3-yl)pyruvate = 2-(indol-3-yl)acetaldehyde + CO(2). -!- More specific than EC 4.1.1.1. | 
| 4.1.1.- | Carboxy-lyases. based on mapping to UniProt P06169 | 
| 4.1.1.72 | Branched-chain-2-oxoacid decarboxylase. based on mapping to UniProt P06169 (3S)-3-methyl-2-oxopentanoate = 2-methylbutanal + CO(2). -!- Acts on a number of 2-oxo acids, with a high affinity toward branched-chain substrates. -!- The aldehyde formed may be enzyme-bound, and may be an intermediate in the bacterial system for biosynthesis of branched-chain fatty acids. | 
| 4.1.1.43 | Phenylpyruvate decarboxylase. based on mapping to UniProt P06169 Phenylpyruvate = phenylacetaldehyde + CO(2). -!- Also acts on (indol-3-yl)pyruvate. |
