Description
In enzymology, a L-fuculose-phosphate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.17) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction: L-fuculose-1-phosphate → glycerone phosphate + (S)-lactaldehyde. Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, L-fuculose-1-phosphate, and two products, glycerone phosphate and (S)-lactaldehyde. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.
