In enzymology an acetylacetone-cleaving enzyme (EC 1.13.11.50) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionpentane-24-dione + O2 acetate + 2-oxopropanalThus the two substrates of this enzyme are pentane-24-dione and O2 whereas its two products are acetate and 2-oxopropanal.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).
