In enzymology, a benzoyl-CoA reductase (EC 1.3.7.8) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
benzoyl-CoA + reduced acceptor + 2 ATP + 2 H2O
The 4 substrates of this enzyme are benzoyl-CoA, reduced acceptor, ATP, and H2O, whereas its 4 products are cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA, acceptor, ADP, and phosphate.
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 cyclohexa-1,5-diene-1-carbonyl-CoA:acceptor oxidoreductase (aromatizing, ATP-forming). This enzyme is also called benzoyl-CoA reductase (dearomatizing). This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via coa ligation. It has 2 cofactors: manganese, and Magnesium.
