ID   4.1.2.51
DE   2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate aldolase.
AN   KDG-specific aldolase.
CA   2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate = D-glyceraldehyde + pyruvate.
CC   -!- The enzyme from the archaeon Picrophilus torridus is involved in
CC       D-glucose and D-galactose catabolism via the nonphosphorylative
CC       variant of the Entner-Doudoroff pathway.
CC   -!- In the direction of aldol synthesis the enzyme catalyzes the
CC       formation of 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate and 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-
CC       galactonate at a similar ratio.
CC   -!- It shows no activity with 2-dehydro-3-deoxy-D-gluconate 6-phosphate.
CC       cf. EC 4.1.2.14.
