Superfamily 3.30.465.10
Functional Family P-cresol methylhydroxylase flavoprotein subunit

Enzyme Information

1.17.99.1
4-methylphenol dehydrogenase (hydroxylating).
based on mapping to UniProt P09788
4-methylphenol + 2 acceptor + H(2)O = 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde + 2 reduced acceptor.
-!- Phenazine methosulfate can act as acceptor. -!- A quinone methide is probably formed as intermediate. -!- The first hydroxylation forms 4-hydroxybenzyl alcohol; a second hydroxylation converts this into 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde.
