In enzymology a 3-carboxyethylcatechol 23-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.16) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3-(23-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate + O2 2-hydroxy-6-oxonona-24-diene-19-dioateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-(23-dihydroxyphenyl)propanoate and O2 whereas its product is 2-hydroxy-6-oxonona-24-diene-19-dioate.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).
