Inenzymology, a4-methoxybenzoate monooxygenase (O-demethylating) (EC1.14.99.15) is anenzyme thatcatalyzes thechemical reaction
The 3substrates of this enzyme are4-methoxybenzoate, anelectron acceptor AH2, andO2, whereas its 4products are4-hydroxybenzoate,formaldehyde, the reduction product A, andH2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family ofoxidoreductases, specifically those acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derive from O miscellaneous. Thesystematic name of this enzyme class is4-methoxybenzoate,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (O-demethylating). Other names in common use include4-methoxybenzoate 4-monooxygenase (O-demethylating),4-methoxybenzoate O-demethylase,p-anisic O-demethylase, andpiperonylate-4-O-demethylase. This enzyme participates in2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation.
