In enzymology a 34-dihydroxyphenylacetate 23-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction34-dihydroxyphenylacetate + O2 2-hydroxy-5-carboxymethylmuconate semialdehydeThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 34-dihydroxyphenylacetate and O2 whereas its product is 2-hydroxy-5-carboxymethylmuconate 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).
