Preferred Label : catechol 2,3-dioxygenase;
MeSH definition : Catalyzes the oxidation of catechol to 2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde in the carbazole
and BENZOATE degradation via HYDROXYLATION pathways. It also catalyzes the conversion
of 3-methylcatechol to cis, cis-2-hydroxy-6-oxohept-2,4-dienoate in the TOLUENE and
XYLENE degradation pathway. This enzyme was formerly characterized as EC 1.13.1.2.;
