Alliin lyase (alliinase) is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein that cleaves S-alkyl-L-cysteine S-oxides (e.g. alliin in garlic) into alkyl sulfenates and 2-aminoacrylate, generating the characteristic allium volatile thiosulfinates. It is found in Eukaryota and Bacteria. Structurally it is a PLP-dependent alliinase.
