Native Escherichia coli L-Arginine Decarboxylase

Cat No.

NATE-0033

Description

In enzymology, an arginine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.19) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:L-arginine↔ agmatine + CO2. Hence, this enzyme has one substRate, L-arginine, and two products, agmatine and CO2. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. It employs one cofactor, pyridoxal phosphate.
