In enzymology a 4-chlorobenzoate dehalogenase (EC 3.8.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction4-chlorobenzoate + H2O 4-hydroxybenzoate + chlorideThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 4-chlorobenzoate and H2O whereas its two products are 4-hydroxybenzoate and chloride.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-chlorobenzoate chlorohydrolase.
