3-hydroxy-D-aspartate aldolase ({{EnzExplorer|4.1.3.41}}, D-3-hydroxyaspartate aldolase) is an enzyme with systematic name 3-hydroxy-D-aspartate glyoxylate-lyase (glycine-forming).{{cite journal | vauthors = Liu JQ, Dairi T, Itoh N, Kataoka M, Shimizu S | title = A novel enzyme, D-3-hydroxyaspartate aldolase from Paracoccus denitrificans IFO 13301: purification, characterization, and gene cloning | journal = Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology | volume = 62 | issue = 1 | pages = 53–60 | date = July 2003 | pmid = 12835921 | doi = 10.1007/s00253-003-1238-2 }} This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: (1) threo-3-hydroxy-D-aspartate $\backslash rightleftharpoons$ glycine + glyoxylate

: (2) D-erythro-3-hydroxyaspartate $\backslash rightleftharpoons$ glycine + glyoxylate

This enzyme is a pyridoxal-phosphate protein.
