Dehalogenase

A dehalogenase is a type of enzyme that catalyzes the removal of a halogen atom from a substrate.[1][2]

Examples include:

  • Reductive dehalogenases
  • 4-chlorobenzoate dehalogenase
  • 4-chlorobenzoyl-CoA dehalogenase
  • Dichloromethane dehalogenase
  • Fluoroacetate dehydrogenase
  • Haloacetate dehalogenase
  • (R)-2-haloacid dehalogenase
  • (S)-2-haloacid dehalogenase
  • Haloalkane dehalogenase
  • Halohydrin dehalogenase
  • Haloacetate dehalogenase
  • Tetrachloroethene reductive dehalogenase
