In enzymology, a 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.7.9) is an enzyme found in some bacteria and archaea that catalyzes the chemical reaction[1][2] The 3 substrates of this enzyme are benzoyl-CoA, acceptor, and H2O, whereas its two products are 4-hydroxybenzoyl-CoA and reduced acceptor.
This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via coa ligation.
This enzyme belongs to the family of oxidoreductases, specifically those acting on the CH-CH group of donor with other acceptors.
The systematic name of this enzyme class is benzoyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase.
