Peptidylamidoglycolate lyase

In enzymology, a peptidylamidoglycolate lyase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * peptidylamidoglycolate $$\rightleftharpoons$$ peptidyl amide + glyoxylate

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, peptidylamidoglycolate, and two products, peptidyl amide and glyoxylate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically amidine lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is peptidylamidoglycolate peptidyl-amide-lyase (glyoxylate-forming). Other names in common use include alpha-hydroxyglycine amidating dealkylase, peptidyl-alpha-hydroxyglycine alpha-amidating lyase, HGAD, PGL, PAL, and peptidylamidoglycolate peptidylamide-lyase.
