KEGG   ENZYME: 4.1.1.108
Entry
EC 4.1.1.108                Enzyme                                 
Name
4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase;
TYRDC-2 (gene name)
Class
Lyases;
Carbon-carbon lyases;
Carboxy-lyases
Sysname
L-tyrosine carboxy-lyase (oxidative-deaminating)
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-tyrosine + O2 + H2O = (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde + CO2 + NH3 + H2O2 [RN:R11917]
Reaction(KEGG)
R11917
Substrate
L-tyrosine [CPD:C00082];
O2 [CPD:C00007];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde [CPD:C03765];
CO2 [CPD:C00011];
NH3 [CPD:C00014];
H2O2 [CPD:C00027]
Comment
A pyridoxal 5'-phosphate protein. The enzyme, isolated from the the plant Petroselinum crispum (parsley), catalyses the production of 4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde directly from L-tyrosine. Tyramine is not formed as an intermediate. The enzyme has a low activity with L-dopa (cf. EC 4.1.1.107, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetaldehyde synthase).
