In enzymology a sulfinoalanine decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.29) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3-sulfino-L-alanine hypotaurine + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate 3-sulfino-L-alanine and two products hypotaurine 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 3-sulfino-L-alanine carboxy-lyase (hypotaurine-forming).
