L-phenylalanine + O2 + H2O = phenylacetaldehyde + CO2 + NH3 + H2O2
Other name(s)
PAAS (gene name)
Systematic name
L-phenylalanine carboxy-lyase (oxidative-deaminating)
Comment
A pyridoxal 5′-phosphate protein. The enzyme, isolated from the the plants Petunia hybrida and a Rosa hybrid, catalyses the production of phenylacetaldehyde directly from L-phenylalanine. The enzyme is specific for L-phenylalanine and does not accept other aromatic amino acids as substrates.
