Low-specificity L-threonine aldolase

Low-specificity L -threonine aldolase (, LtaE) is an enzyme with systematic name  L -threonine/ L -allo-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reactions:


 * L -threonine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ glycine + acetaldehyde
 * L -allothreonine $$\rightleftharpoons$$ glycine + acetaldehyde

This enzyme requires pyridoxal phosphate.
