The enzyme phosphonopyruvate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.82) catalyzes the chemical reaction

3-phosphonopyruvate ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ 2-phosphonoacetaldehyde + 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 3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase (2-phosphonoacetaldehyde-forming). This enzyme is also called 3-phosphonopyruvate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in aminophosphonate metabolism.
