The enzyme aminocarboxymuconate-semialdehyde decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.45) catalyzes the chemical reaction:[1]

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The product spontaneously ring-closes to picolinic acid, with loss of water.[2][3]

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. This enzyme is part of the kynurenine pathway in tryptophan metabolism, leading to picolinic acid or quinolinic acid.[3] It has been identified as a marker in nonverbal autism.[4]

Nomenclature

The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-amino-3-(3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)but-2-enedioate carboxy-lyase (2-aminomuconate-semialdehyde-forming). Other names in common use include picolinic acid carboxylase, picolinic acid decarboxylase, alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehade decarboxylase, alpha-amino-beta-carboxymuconate-epsilon-semialdehyde, beta-decarboxylase, 2-amino-3-(3-oxoprop-2-enyl)but-2-enedioate carboxy-lyase, and 2-amino-3-(3-oxoprop-1-en-1-yl)but-2-enedioate carboxy-lyase.[1]
