| Accepted Name |
| Fructose-bisphosphate aldolase. |
| Alternative Name(s) |
| Aldolase. |
| D-fructose-1,6-bisphosphate D-glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate-lyase. |
| Fructose-1,6-bisphosphate triosephosphate-lyase. |
| Reaction catalysed |
| D-fructose 1,6-bisphosphate <=> glycerone phosphate + D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate |
| Cofactor(s) |
| Zn(2+). |
| Comment(s) |
- Also acts on (3S,4R)-ketose 1-phosphates.
- The enzymes increase electron-attraction by the carbonyl group, some (Class I) forming a protonated imine with it, others (Class II), mainly of microbial origin, polarizing it with a metal ion, e.g. zinc.
- Formerly EC 4.1.2.7.
