In enzymology a 4-methoxybenzoate monooxygenase (O-demethylating) (EC 1.14.99.15) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction4-methoxybenzoate + AH2 + O2 4-hydroxybenzoate + formaldehyde + A + H2OThe 3 substrates of this enzyme are 4-methoxybenzoate an electron acceptor AH2 and O2 whereas its 4 products are 4-hydroxybenzoate formaldehyde 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.
