S-alkyl-L-cysteine alkyl-thiol-lyase (deaminating; pyruvate-forming)

an S-alkyl-L-cysteine + H2O = an alkyl thiol + NH3 + pyruvate [RN:R02953]

R02953

S-alkyl-L-cysteine [CPD:C02749];
H2O [CPD:C00001]

A pyridoxal-phosphate protein. Decomposes S-alkyl-L-cysteines by alpha,beta-elimination. Possibly identical, in yeast, with EC 4.4.1.8 cystathionine beta-lyase.
