2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-(2-aminophenyl)hexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolase explained

2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-(2-aminophenyl)hexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolase
Ec Number:3.7.1.13

2-hydroxy-6-oxo-6-(2-aminophenyl)hexa-2,4-dienoate hydrolase (CarC) is an enzyme with systematic name (2E,4E)-6-(2-aminophenyl)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate acylhydrolase.[1] [2] This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction

(2E,4E)-6-(2-aminophenyl)-2-hydroxy-6-oxohexa-2,4-dienoate + H2O

\rightleftharpoons

anthranilate + (2E)-2-hydroxypenta-2,4-dienoate

This enzyme catalyses the third step in the aerobic degradation pathway of carbazole.
