Ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase is an enzyme with systematic name (S)-ethylmalonyl-CoA carboxy-lyase (butanoyl-CoA-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * (S)-ethylmalonyl-CoA $$\rightleftharpoons$$ butanoyl-CoA + CO2

The vertebrate enzyme decarboxylates ethylmalonyl-CoA.
