4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reductase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.99.20) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

benzoyl-CoA + acceptor + H2O \rightleftharpoons 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA + reduced acceptor

The 3 substrates of this enzyme are benzoyl-CoA, acceptor, and H2O, whereas its two products are 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA and reduced acceptor.

This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with other acceptors. The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase. Other names in common use include 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reductase (dehydroxylating), and 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA:(acceptor) oxidoreductase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via coa ligation.
