In enzymology a 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-6-phosphogalactonate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.21) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate 6-phosphate pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-galactonate 6-phosphate and two products pyruvate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the aldehyde-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.
