Stipitatonate decarboxylase

The enzyme stipitatonate decarboxylase catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * stipitatonate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ stipitatate + CO2

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is stipitatonate carboxy-lyase (decyclizing, stipitatate-forming). This enzyme is also called stipitatonate carboxy-lyase (decyclizing).
