Biotin-dependent malonate decarboxylase

Biotin-dependent malonate decarboxylase (, malonate decarboxylase (with biotin), malonate decarboxylase) is an enzyme with systematic name malonate carboxy-lyase (biotin-dependent). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * malonate + H+ $$\rightleftharpoons$$ acetate + CO2

Two types of malonate decarboxylase are currently known, both of which form multienzyme complexes.
