Enzyme Information

2.1.2.-
Hydroxymethyl-, formyl- and related transferases.
based on mapping to UniProt Q58992
4.1.2.49
L-allo-threonine aldolase.
based on mapping to UniProt Q58992
L-allo-threonine = glycine + acetaldehyde.
-!- This enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Aeromonas jandaei, is specific for L-allo-threonine and can not act on either L-threonine or L-serine. -!- Different from EC 4.1.2.5 and EC 4.1.2.48. -!- A previously listed enzyme with this name, EC 4.1.2.6, was deleted in 1971 after it was found to be identical to EC 2.1.2.1.
