D-fuconate dehydratase explained

D-fuconate dehydratase
Ec Number:	4.2.1.67
Cas Number:	9076-59-9
Go Code:	0047818

The enzyme D-fuconate dehydratase catalyzes the chemical reaction.^[1]

D-fuconate

\rightleftharpoons 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-fuconate + H₂O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-fuconate hydro-lyase (2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-fuconate-forming). This enzyme is also called D-fuconate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in fructose and mannose metabolism.
