| Accepted name: |
5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate decarboxylase |
| Reaction: |
5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate = 4-guanidinobutanal + CO2 |
| Glossary: |
thiamine diphosphate = 3-[(4-amino-2-methylpyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]-5-(2-diphosphoethyl)-4-methyl-1,3-thiazolium |
| Other name(s): |
α-ketoarginine decarboxylase; 2-oxo-5-guanidinopentanoate carboxy-lyase |
| Systematic name: |
5-guanidino-2-oxopentanoate carboxy-lyase (4-guanidinobutanal-forming) |
| Comments: |
Enzyme activity is dependent on the presence of thiamine diphosphate and a divalent cation. |
