| Accepted name: |
salicylate decarboxylase |
| Reaction: |
salicylate = phenol + CO2 |
| Other name(s): |
salicylic acid decarboxylase; Scd |
| Systematic name: |
salicylate carboxy-lyase |
| Comments: |
In the reverse direction the enzyme catalyses the regioselective carboxylation of phenol into stoichiometric amounts of salicylate. The enzyme also catalyses the reversible decarboxylation of 2,4-dihydroxybenzoate, 2,6-dihydroxybenzoate, 2,3-dihydroxybenzoate and 4-aminosalicylate [1]. |
