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.
