Low-specificity L-threonine aldolase (EC 4.1.2.48, LtaE) is an enzyme with systematic name L-threonine/L-allo-threonine acetaldehyde-lyase (glycine-forming).[1][2][3][4][5] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) L-threonine glycine + acetaldehyde
(2) L-allo-threonine glycine + acetaldehyde

This enzyme requires pyridoxal phosphate.
