KEGG   ENZYME: 2.2.1.8Help
Entry
EC 2.2.1.8                  Enzyme                                 
Name
fluorothreonine transaldolase
Class
Transferases;
Transferring aldehyde or ketonic groups;
Transketolases and transaldolases
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname
fluoroacetaldehyde:L-threonine aldehydetransferase
Reaction(IUBMB)
L-threonine + fluoroacetaldehyde = acetaldehyde + 4-fluoro-L-threonine [RN:R07247]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
L-threonine [CPD:C00188];
fluoroacetaldehyde [CPD:C15488]
Product
acetaldehyde [CPD:C00084];
4-fluoro-L-threonine [CPD:C15533]
Comment
A pyridoxal phosphate protein. Can also convert chloroacetaldehyde into4-chloro-L-threonine. Unlike EC 2.1.2.1, glycine hydroxymethyltransferase, does not use glycine as a substrate.
