Trans-L-3-hydroxyproline dehydratase

The enzyme trans- L -3-hydroxyproline dehydratase catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * trans- L -3-hydroxyproline $$\rightleftharpoons$$ Δ1-pyrroline 2-carboxylate + H2O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is trans- L -3-hydroxyproline hydro-lyase (Δ1-pyrroline-2-carboxylate-forming). This enzyme is also called trans- L -3-hydroxyproline hydro-lyase.
