1,2-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate dehydrogenase
Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a 1,2-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate dehydrogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 1,2-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate + NADTemplate:Sup 3-methylcatechol + NADH + COTemplate:Sub
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 1,2-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate and [[nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide|NADTemplate:Sup]], whereas its 3 products are 3-methylcatechol, NADH, and [[carbon dioxide|COTemplate:Sub]].
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with NAD+ or NADP+ as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 1,2-dihydroxy-6-methylcyclohexa-3,5-dienecarboxylate:NAD+ oxidoreductase (decarboxylating). This enzyme participates in toluene and xylene degradation.
