Fluorothreonine transaldolase (EC 2.2.1.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

  1. REDIRECT Template:Chemical reaction

The two substrates of the enzyme characterised from Streptomyces cattleya are L-threonine and fluoroacetaldehyde. Its products are 4-fluoro-L-threonine and acetaldehyde.[1][2]

This enzyme belongs to the family of transferases, specifically those transferring aldehyde or ketonic groups (transaldolases and transketolases, respectively). The systematic name of this enzyme class is fluoroacetaldehyde:L-threonine aldehydetransferase. It is pyridoxal phosphate dependent.[3]
