In enzymology a propioin synthase (EC 4.1.2.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction4-hydroxy-3-hexanone 2 propanalHence this enzyme has one substrate 4-hydroxy-3-hexanone and one product propanal.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the aldehyde-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-hydroxy-3-hexanone propanal-lyase (propanal-forming).
