The enzyme gallate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.59) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate pyrogallol + CO2
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoate carboxy-lyase (pyrogallol-forming). Other names in common use include gallic acid decarboxylase and gallate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via CoA ligation.
