In enzymology a prephenate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.51) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionprephenate phenylpyruvate + H2O + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate prephenate but 3 products: phenylpyruvate H2O and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the hydro-lyases which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is prephenate hydro-lyase (decarboxylating; phenylpyruvate-forming).
