In enzymology a pyrogallol 12-oxygenase (EC 1.13.11.35) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction123-trihydroxybenzene + O2 (Z)-5-oxohex-2-enedioateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 123-trihydroxybenzene and O2 whereas its product is (Z)-5-oxohex-2-enedioate.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).
