In enzymology, an acetolactate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction (S)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate ⇌ (R)-2-acetoin + CO₂ Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (S)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate, and two products, (R)-2-acetoin and CO₂. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (S)-2-hydroxy-2-methyl-3-oxobutanoate carboxy-lyase [(R)-2-acetoin-forming].
