Other name(s): 7α,12α-dihydroxy-3-oxochol-4-enoate hydro-lyase
Systematic name: 7α,12α-dihydroxy-3-oxochol-4-enoate hydro-lyase (12α-hydroxy-3-oxochola-4,6-dienoate-forming)
Comments: The enzyme from Eubacterium sp. strain VPI 12708 can also use 7α-hydroxy-3-oxochol-4-enoate as a substrate but not 7α,12α-dihydroxy-3-oxochol-5β-anoate, 3α,7α,12α-trihydroxychol-5β-anoate or 7β-hydroxy-3-oxochol-4-enoate.
