The four substrates of this enzyme are 4-hydroxybenzoic acid, reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH), oxygen, and a proton. Its products are hydroquinone, oxidised NAD+, water, and carbon dioxide. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate can be used as an alternative cofactor.[1][2]

This enzyme is a flavin-containing monooxygenase that uses molecular oxygen as oxidant and incorporates one of its atoms into the starting material. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-hydroxybenzoate,NAD(P)H:oxygen oxidoreductase (1-hydroxylating, decarboxylating). This enzyme is also called 4-hydroxybenzoate 1-monooxygenase. This enzyme participates in benzoic acid degradation.[1]
