| Short Name | Galactarate_dehydratase_2 |
| description | Enzymes in the galactarate dehydratase 2 family catalyze the dehydration of galactarate. The product of this reaction is the enantiomer of the product of the galactarate dehydratase reaction catalyzed by the L-talarate/galactarate dehydratase family in the mandelate racemase subgroup. Though the overall reaction catalyzed is the same as that of enzymes in the galactarate dehydratase 3 family, a distinct set of catalytic residues are used by enzymes in families 2 and 3 [].galactarate(2-) ->3-deoxy-D-threo-hex-2-ulosarate(2-) + H2O |
