In enzymology a 6-methylsalicylate decarboxylase (EC 4.1.1.52) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction6-methylsalicylate 3-cresol + CO2Hence this enzyme has one substrate 6-methylsalicylate and two products 3-cresol and CO2.This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases specifically the carboxy-lyases which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 6-methylsalicylate carboxy-lyase (3-cresol-forming).
