The enzyme 4,5-dihydroxyphthalate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.55) catalyzes the chemical reaction
- 4,5-dihydroxyphthalate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] 3,4-dihydroxybenzoate + CO2
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4,5-dihydroxyphthalate carboxy-lyase (3,4-dihydroxybenzoate-forming). This enzyme is also called 4,5-dihydroxyphthalate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in 2,4-dichlorobenzoate degradation.
