In enzymology, a citrate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- citrate cis-aconitate + H2O
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, citrate, and two products, cis-aconitate and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is citrate hydro-lyase (cis-aconitate-forming). This enzyme is also called citrate hydro-lyase.
