D-threonine aldolase (EC 4.1.2.42 D-TA DTA low specificity D-TA low specificity D-threonine aldolase) is an enzyme with system name D-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction (1) D-threonine glycine + acetaldehyde (2) D-allothreonine glycine + acetaldehydeThis pyridoxal-phosphate protein is activated by divalent metal cations (e.g. Co2+ Ni2+ Mn2+ or Mg2+).
