In enzymology a 3-hydroxybenzoate 2-monooxygenase (EC 1.14.99.23) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction3-hydroxybenzoate + AH2 + O2 23-dihydroxybenzoate + A + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are 3-hydroxybenzoate an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 whereas its 3 products are 23-dihydroxybenzoate the reduction product A and H2O.This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases specifically those acting on paired donors with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or reduction of oxygen.
