Description

The degradation of L-threonine to glycine consists of a two-step biochemical pathway involving the enzymes L-threoninedehydrogenase and 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase. L-Threonine is first converted into 2-amino-3-ketobutyrateby L-threonine dehydrogenase. This gene encodes the second enzyme in this pathway, which then catalyzes the reactionbetween 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate and coenzyme A to form glycine and acetyl-CoA. The encoded enzyme is considered a classII pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase. (provided by RefSeq)
