Salicylate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.91, salicylic acid decarboxylase, Scd) is an enzyme with systematic name salicylate carboxy-lyase.[1] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

salicylate [math]\displaystyle{ \rightleftharpoons }[/math] phenol + CO2

In the reverse direction the enzyme catalyses the regioselective carboxylation of phenol into salicylate.
