3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate cycloisomerase

In enzymology, a 3-carboxy-cis,cis-muconate cycloisomerase () is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 2-carboxy-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate, and one product, cis,cis-butadiene-1,2,4-tricarboxylate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically intramolecular lyases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2-carboxy-2,5-dihydro-5-oxofuran-2-acetate lyase (decyclizing). Other names in common use include beta-carboxymuconate lactonizing enzyme, and 3-carboxymuconolactone hydrolase. This enzyme participates in benzoate degradation via hydroxylation.
