The enzyme 2-dehydropantoate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.12) catalyzes the chemical reaction:
- 2-dehydropantoate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate + formaldehyde
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 2-dehydropantoate formaldehyde-lyase (3-methyl-2-oxobutanoate-forming). Other names in common use include ketopantoaldolase, and 2-dehydropantoate formaldehyde-lyase.
