In enzymology, an oxalate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.2) is an oxalate degrading enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

oxalate + H {\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons } formate + CO2

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are oxalate and H, whereas its two products are formate 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 oxalate carboxy-lyase (formate-forming). This enzyme is also called oxalate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.

Structural studies

As of late 2007, 5 structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1UW8, 2UY8, 2UY9, 2UYA, and 2UYB.
