| Accepted name: |
oxalate decarboxylase |
| Reaction: |
oxalate + H+ = formate + CO2 |
| Other name(s): |
oxalate carboxy-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
oxalate carboxy-lyase (formate-forming) |
| Comments: |
The enzyme from Bacillus subtilis contains manganese and requires O2 for activity, even though there is no net redox change. |
