In enzymology a dihydroxyfumarate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.54) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactiondihydroxyfumarate tartronate semialdehyde + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate dihydroxyfumarate and two products tartronate semialdehyde and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the carboxy-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dihydroxyfumarate carboxy-lyase (tartronate-semialdehyde-forming).
