In enzymology a 23-dihydroxybenzoate 34-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction23-dihydroxybenzoate + O2 3-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate semialdehydeThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 23-dihydroxybenzoate and O2 whereas its product is 3-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde.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).
