Each day Apimba highlights one enzyme from our curated database of biochemical catalysts. The selection is deterministic for the day, so everyone sees the same enzyme until midnight UTC.
EC Number: 1.14.13.35
Reaction: anthranilate + NADPH + H+ + O2 = 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate + NADP+ + NH3
Systematic name: anthranilate,NADPH:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating, deaminating)
Other names: anthranilate hydroxylase; anthranilate 2,3-dioxygenase (deaminating); anthranilate hydroxylase (deaminating); anthranilic hydroxylase; anthranilate 2,3-hydroxylase (deaminating)
Comments: The enzyme from Aspergillus niger is an iron protein; that from the yeast Trichosporon cutaneum is a flavoprotein (FAD).
