Enzyme Information

4.2.2.2
Pectate lyase.
based on mapping to UniProt P39116
Eliminative cleavage of (1->4)-alpha-D-galacturonan to give oligosaccharides with 4-deoxy-alpha-D-galact-4-enuronosyl groups at their non-reducing ends.
-!- Favors pectate, the anion, over pectin, the methyl ester (which is the preferred substrate of EC 4.2.2.10). -!- Formerly EC 4.2.99.3.
