Terephthalate 1,2-cis-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase
In enzymology, a terephthalate 1,2-cis-dihydrodiol dehydrogenase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction:
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cis-4,5-dihydroxycyclohexa-1,2-diene-1,4-dicarboxylate and NAD+, whereas its 3 products are 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate, CO2, and NADH.
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 cis-4,5-dihydroxycyclohexa-1,2-diene-1,4-dicarboxylate:NAD+ oxidoreductase . This enzyme participates in 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation.
