In enzymology a hydroxyquinol 12-dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.37) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionbenzene-124-triol + O2 3-hydroxy-ciscis-muconateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are benzene-124-triol (hydroxyquinol) and O2 whereas its product is 3-hydroxy-ciscis-muconate.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).
