In enzymology a 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridinecarboxylate dioxygenase (EC 1.14.12.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate + NAD(P)H + H+ + O2 2-(acetamidomethylene)succinate + NAD(P)+The 5 substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxy-2-methylpyridine-5-carboxylate NADH NADPH H+ and O2 whereas its 3 products are 2-(acetamidomethylene)succinate NAD+ and NADP+.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
