In enzymology a 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate 12-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.38) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate + O2 (3Z)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-2-oxobut-3-enoateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 1-hydroxy-2-naphthoate and O2 whereas its product is (3Z)-4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-2-oxobut-3-enoate.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on single donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation of two atoms of oxygen into the substrate (oxygenases).
