In enzymology a pantothenoylcysteine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.30) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionN-[(R)-pantothenoyl]-L-cysteine pantetheine + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate N-((R)-pantothenoyl)-L-cysteine and two products pantetheine 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 N-[(R)-pantothenoyl]-L-cysteine carboxy-lyase (pantetheine-forming).
