| aldehyde-ketone transferases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze the transfer of aldehyde or ketone residues. Registry number: EC 2.2 (12 Dec 1998) |
| aldehyde-lyases | <enzyme> Enzymes that catalyze cleavage of a carbon-carbon bond in a molecule containing a hydroxyl group and a carbonyl group to form two smaller molecules, each being an aldehyde or a ketone.
