In enzymology a sulfopyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.79) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3-sulfopyruvate 2-sulfoacetaldehyde + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate 3-sulfopyruvate and two products 2-sulfoacetaldehyde 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-sulfopyruvate carboxy-lyase (2-sulfoacetaldehyde-forming).
