In enzymology a threonine aldolase (EC 4.1.2.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionL-threonine glycine + acetaldehydeHence this enzyme has one substrate L-threonine and two products glycine and acetaldehyde.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 L-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming). This enzyme is also called L-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase.
