Serine-sulfate ammonia-lyase

The enzyme Serine-sulfate ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.10) catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * L -serine O-sulfate + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pyruvate + NH3 + sulfate

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically ammonia lyases, which cleave carbon-nitrogen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is  L -serine-O-sulfate ammonia-lyase (pyruvate-forming). It is also called ( L -SOS)lyase.
