EC 4.3.1.14

Accepted name: 3-aminobutyryl-CoA ammonia-lyase

Reaction: L-3-aminobutyryl-CoA = crotonoyl-CoA + NH3

Other name(s): L-3-aminobutyryl-CoA deaminase; L-3-aminobutyryl-CoA ammonia-lyase

Systematic name: L-3-aminobutyryl-CoA ammonia-lyase (crotonoyl-CoA-forming)

Comments: hydroxylamine can replace ammonia as a substrate. Crotonoyl-pantetheine can replace crotonoyl-CoA but it is a poorer substrate.
