Maleylpyruvate isomerase

In enzymology, a maleylpyruvate isomerase (EC5.2.1.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-maleylpyruvate, and one product, 3-fumarylpyruvate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically cis-trans isomerases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-maleylpyruvate cis-trans-isomerase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism.
