Catechol 2,3-Dioxygenase

3-Sulfocatechol 2,3-Dioxygenase; Catechol-2,3-Dioxygenase; Metapyrocatechase; Pyrocatechol-2,3-Oxygenase; 2,3-Dioxygenase, 3-Sulfocatechol; 2,3-Dioxygenase, Catechol; 3 Sulfocatechol 2,3 Dioxygenase; Catechol 2,3 Dioxygenase; Pyrocatechol 2,3 Oxygenase
Catalyzes the oxidation of catechol to 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde in the CARBAZOLE and BENZOATE degradation via HYDROXYLATION pathways. It also catalyzes the conversion of 3-methylcatechol to cis, cis-2-hydroxy-6-oxohept-2,4-dienoate in the TOLUENE and XYLENE degradation pathway. This enzyme was formerly characterized as EC 1.13.1.2.
