Sysname
1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol hydro-lyase [deaminating; (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde-forming]
Reaction(IUBMB)
1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol = (4-hydroxyphenyl)acetaldehyde + NH3 [RN:R03358]
Reaction(KEGG)
Substrate
1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)-2-aminoethanol [CPD:C04227]
Product
4-hydroxyphenylacetaldehyde [CPD:C03765];
NH3 [CPD:C00014]
Comment
The enzyme-catalysed reaction is believed to be dehydration to an enamine, which is spontaneously hydrolysed to an aldehyde and ammonia.
