2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone reductase
Class of enzymes
In enzymology, a 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone reductase (EC 1.6.5.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone + NADH + H+ 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene + NAD+
The 3 substrates of this enzyme are 2-hydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone, NADH, and H+, whereas its two products are 1,2,4-trihydroxybenzene and NAD+.
This enzyme participates in gamma-hexachlorocyclohexane degradation and 1,4-dichlorobenzene degradation.
