ENZYME entry: EC 2.2.1.6

Accepted Name
acetolactate synthase
Alternative Name(s)
acetohydroxyacid synthase
acetohydroxy acid synthetase
acetolactate pyruvate-lyase (carboxylating)
acetolactic synthetase
alpha-acetohydroxyacid synthase
alpha-acetohydroxy acid synthetase
alpha-acetolactate synthase
alpha-acetolactate synthetase
Reaction catalysed
H(+) + 2 pyruvate = (2S)-2-acetolactate + CO2
Comment(s)
  • The reaction shown is in the pathway of biosynthesis of valine.
  • The enzyme can also transfer the acetaldehyde from pyruvate to 2-oxobutanoate, forming 2-ethyl-2-hydroxy-3-oxobutanoate, also known as 2-aceto-2-hydroxybutanoate, a reaction in the biosynthesis of isoleucine.
  • Formerly EC 4.1.3.18.
