In enzymology, a methylglyoxal synthase (EC 4.2.3.3) is a enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, DHAP, and two products, methylglyoxal and phosphate. Attempts to observe reversibility of this reaction have been unsuccessful.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically those carbon-oxygen lyases acting on phosphates. The systematic name of this enzyme class is glycerone-phosphate phosphate-lyase (methylglyoxal-forming). Other names in common use include methylglyoxal synthetase, and glycerone-phosphate phospho-lyase. This enzyme participates in pyruvate metabolism and is constitutively expressed.
As of late 2007, 7 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1B93, 1EGH, 1IK4, 1S89, 1S8A, 1VMD, and 1WO8.
