The enzyme 5-dehydro-2-deoxyphosphogluconate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.29) catalyzes the chemical reaction

5-dehydro-2-deoxy-D-gluconate 6-phosphate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] glycerone phosphate[1] + malonate semialdehyde

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the aldehyde-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5-dehydro-2-deoxy-D-gluconate-6-phosphate malonate-semialdehyde-lyase (glycerone-phosphate-forming). Other names in common use include phospho-5-keto-2-deoxygluconate aldolase, 5-dehydro-2-deoxy-D-gluconate-6-phosphate, and malonate-semialdehyde-lyase.
