Histidine ammonia-lyase is a cytosolic enzyme catalyzing the first reaction in histidine catabolism, the nonoxidative deamination of L-histidine to trans-urocanic acid.[1] The reaction is catalyzed by 3,5-dihydro-5-methyldiene-4H-imidazol-4-one, an electrophilic co-factor which is formed autocatalytically by cyclization of the protein backbone of the enzyme.[3]
