In enzymology an indole-3-glycerol-phosphate lyase (EC 4.1.2.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction(1S2R)-1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate indole + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphateHence this enzyme has one substrate (1S2R)-1-C-(indol-3-yl)glycerol 3-phosphate and two products indole and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the aldehyde-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds.
