Ec Number:4.1.1.95

L-glutamyl-(BtrI acyl-carrier protein) decarboxylase (btrK (gene)) is an enzyme with systematic name L-glutamyl-(BtrI acyl-carrier protein) carboxy-lyase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

L-glutamyl-[BtrI acyl-carrier protein]

\rightleftharpoons

4-amino butanoyl-[BtrI acyl-carrier protein] + CO2

This enzyme binds pyridoxal 5'-phosphate.
