DESCRIPTION

Also known as SDC_CUTMO, sdc. Reversibly catalyzes the regioselective carboxylation of phenol to form salicylic acid. Involved in a pathway for the degradation of salicylate via phenol. Also catalyzes the decarboxylation of beta-resorcylic acid (2, 4-dihydroxybenzoic acid) into resorcinol (1, 3-dihydroxybenzene), gamma-resorcylic acid (2, 6-dihydroxybenzoic acid) into resorcinol, 2, 3-dihydroxybenzoic acid into catechol (1, 2-dihydroxybenzene), and 4-aminosalicylic acid into 3-aminophenol. Homotetramer.
