Dehydratases are a group of lyase enzymes that form double and triple bonds in a substrate through the removal of water.[1] They can be found in many places including the mitochondria, peroxisome and cytosol.[2] There are more than 150 different dehydratase enzymes[3] that are classified into four groups. Dehydratases can act on hydroxyacyl-CoA with or without cofactors, and some have a metal and non-metal cluster act as their active site.[citation needed]
A dehyratase deficiency in the body can lead to a less severe condition of hyperphenylalaninemia, which involves an over presence of phenylalanine in the blood. It is caused by a genetic recessive disorder in the autosomal DNA.[4]
Common dehydratases include:
Delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase is found in blood and is involved in the production of the heme group of globins.[5] People exposed to lead will have a decrease in ADA-D activity.[6]
Serine dehydratase is mostly found in the liver and catalyzes the reaction of turning serine into pyruvate and ammonia. In a diet of increased protein, the activity of serine dehydratase is increased.[7]
Arogenate dehydratase is found mostly in the chloroplasts of higher plants. It catalyzes the reaction of turning L-arogenate into L-phenylalanine.[8]
