Hydroquinone 1,2-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.66, hydroquinone dioxygenase) is an enzyme with systematic name benzene-1,4-diol:oxygen 1,2-oxidoreductase (decyclizing).[1][2][3] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

benzene-1,4-diol + O2 [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] (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.
