Pyrrole-2-carboxylate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.93) is an enzyme with systematic name pyrrole-2-carboxylate carboxy-lyase. 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.
