Cysteate synthase explained

Cysteate synthase
Ec Number:	2.5.1.76

Cysteate synthase is an enzyme with systematic name sulfite:O-phospho-L-serine sulfotransferase (phosphate-hydrolysing, L-cysteate-forming).^[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

\rightleftharpoons L-cysteate + phosphate

This enzyme is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein.
