class of enzymes
2-hydroxy-4-carboxymuconate semialdehyde hemiacetal dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.312, 2-hydroxy-4-carboxymuconate 6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 4-carboxy-2-hydroxy-cis,cis-muconate-6-semialdehyde:NADP+ oxidoreductase, alpha-hydroxy-gamma-carboxymuconic epsilon-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, 4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate-6-semialdehyde dehydrogenase, LigC, ProD) is an enzyme with systematic name 4-carboxy-2-hydroxymuconate semialdehyde hemiacetal:NADP+ 2-oxidoreductase. This enzyme catalyses the following chemical reaction:
Unsubstituted aliphatic or aromatic aldehydes or glucose cannot serve as substrate of this enzyme.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “2-hydroxy-4-carboxymuconate semialdehyde hemiacetal dehydrogenase” is class of enzymes. The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through 2-hydroxy-4-carboxymuconate, semialdehyde and hemiacetal, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “class of enzymes” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Dec 22, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q2756657. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
