context_page_description: In enzymology, a glucarate dehydratase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  D-glucarate 5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate + H₂O
  Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, D-glucarate, and two products, 5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate and H₂O.
  This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glucarate hydro-lyase. Other names in common use include D-glucarate dehydratase, and D-glucarate hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in ascorbate and aldarate metabolism.
context_section_description: In enzymology, a glucarate dehydratase (EC 4.2.1.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
  D-glucarate  5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate + H₂O
  Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, D-glucarate, and two products, 5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate and H₂O.
  This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds.  The systematic name of this enzyme class is D-glucarate hydro-lyase (5-dehydro-4-deoxy-D-glucarate-forming). Other names in common use include D-glucarate dehydratase, and D-glucarate hydro-lyase.  This enzyme participates in ascorbate and aldarate metabolism.
