In enzymology a 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-phosphogluconate aldolase (EC 4.1.2.14) commonly known as KDPG aldolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate 6-phosphate pyruvate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphateHence this enzyme primarily has one substrate 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate 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.
