In enzymology, a catechol oxidase (dimerizing) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
4 catechol + 3 O2
\rightleftharpoons
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are catechol and O2, whereas its two products are dibenzo[1,4]dioxin-2,3-dione and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-OH group of donor with oxygen as acceptor. The systematic name of this enzyme class is catechol:oxygen oxidoreductase (dimerizing).
