Hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase

Field	Value
Name	Hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase
EC_number	1.13.11.66

Hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase (, hydroquinone dioxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name benzene-1,4-diol:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (decyclizing). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

: benzene-1,4-diol + O2 \rightleftharpoons (2E,4Z)-4-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate

The enzyme is an extradiol-type dioxygenase. It belongs to the nonheme-iron(II)-dependent dioxygenase family.
