4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ 4-hydroxybenzoyl CoA + chloride

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA and H₂O, whereas its two products are 4-hydroxybenzoyl CoA and chloride.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-chlorobenzoyl CoA chlorohydrolase. This enzyme participates in 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation.
