In enzymology a tartronate-semialdehyde synthase (EC 4.1.1.47) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction2 glyoxylate tartronate semialdehyde + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate glyoxylate and two products tartronate semialdehyde 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 glyoxylate carboxy-lyase (dimerizing tartronate-semialdehyde-forming).
