Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases
CLASS OF ENZYMES
2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases; Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylase; 2-oxoglutarate–dependent dioxygenase; 2-oxoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase
Alpha-ketoglutarate-dependent hydroxylases are a major class of non-heme iron proteins that catalyse a wide range of reactions. These reactions include hydroxylation reactions, demethylations, ring expansions, ring closures, and desaturations.
