Sulfolactate sulfo-lyase

In enzymology, a sulfolactate sulfo-lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * 3-sulfolactate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ pyruvate + bisulfite

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-sulfolactate, and two products, pyruvate and bisulfite.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the class of carbon-sulfur lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-sulfolactate bisulfite-lyase (pyruvate-forming). Other names in common use include Suy, SuyAB, and 3-sulfolactate bisulfite-lyase.
