In enzymology, a gentisate decarboxylase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction :2,5-dihydroxybenzoate hydroquinone + CO2 Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate, and two products, hydroquinone and CO2. This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the carboxy-lyases, which cleave carbon-carbon bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate carboxy-lyase (hydroquinone-forming). Other names in common use include 2,5-dihydroxybenzoate decarboxylase, and gentisate carboxy-lyase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism. ==References== * 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gentisate decarboxylase」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
