In enzymology an isochorismatase (EC 3.3.2.1) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reactionisochorismate + H2O 23-dihydroxy-23-dihydrobenzoate + pyruvateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are isochorismate and H2O whereas its two products are 23-dihydroxy-23-dihydrobenzoate and pyruvate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is isochorismate pyruvate-hydrolase.
