Pyrrole-2-carboxylate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.93) is an enzyme with systematic name pyrrole-2-carboxylate carboxy-lyase.[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(1) pyrrole-2-carboxylate pyrrole + CO2
(2) pyrrole-2-carboxylate + H2O pyrrole + HCO3

The enzyme catalyses both the carboxylation and decarboxylation reactions.
