EC 1.97.1.2 Details
show Brenda entryEC number
1.97.1.2
Accepted name
pyrogallol hydroxytransferase
Reaction
1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene + 1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene = 1,3,5-trihydroxybenzene + 1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene
Other name(s)
1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene hydroxyltransferase,
1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene:pyrogallol transhydroxylase,
1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene-pyrogallol hydroxyltransferase (transhydroxylase),
pyrogallol hydroxyltransferase,
1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene:1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene hydroxyltransferase
Systematic name
1,2,3,5-tetrahydroxybenzene:1,2,3-trihydroxybenzene hydroxytransferase
CAS registry number
176591-26-7
Comment
1,2,3,5-Tetrahydroxybenzene acts as a co-substrate for the conversion of pyrogallol into phloroglucinol, and for a number of similar isomerizations. The enzyme is provisionally listed here, but might be considered as the basis for a new class in the transferases, analogous to the aminotransferases.
