Histidine ammonia-lyase (or histidase, or histidinase) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the HAL gene. Histidase converts histidine into ammonia and urocanic acid.
Histidine ammonia-lyase is a cytosolic enzyme catalyzing the first reaction in histidine catabolism, the nonoxidative deamination of L-histidine to trans-urocanic acid. The reaction is catalyzed by an electrophilic co-factor which is formed autocatalytically by cyclization of the protein backbone of the enzyme.
