Other name(s): | PAAS (gene name) | ||
Systematic name: | L-phenylalanine carboxy-lyase (oxidative-deaminating) | ||
Comments: | A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme, isolated from the the plants Petunia hybrida and a Rosa hybrid, catalyses the production of phenylacetaldehyde directly from L-phenylalanine. The enzyme is specific for L-phenylalanine and does not accept other aromatic amino acids as substrates. | ||
