1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate_1,2-dioxygenase
1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate 1,2-dioxygenase
Class of enzymes
In enzymology, a 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate + O2 (3Z)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-2-oxobut-3-enoate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate and O2, whereas its product is (3Z)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-2-oxobut-3-enoate.
This enzyme participates in naphthalene and anthracene degradation. It employs one cofactor, iron.
