Anthranilate 3-monooxygenase (FAD)

Anthranilate 3-monooxygenase (FAD) (, anthranilate 3-hydroxylase, anthranilate hydroxylase) is an enzyme with systematic name anthranilate,FAD:oxygen oxidoreductase (3-hydroxylating). This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction


 * anthranilate + FADH2 + O2 $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 3-hydroxyanthranilate + FAD + H2O

The enzyme from the bacterium Geobacillus thermodenitrificans participates in tryptophan degradation.
