The enzyme sulfopyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.79) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3-sulfopyruvate 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + CO2
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-sulfopyruvate carboxy-lyase (2-sulfoacetaldehyde-forming). This enzyme is also called sulfopyruvate carboxy-lyase.
