Catechol dehydroxylase is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the metabolism of certain compounds by gut bacteria. This enzyme is particularly important in the production of urolithins, which are metabolites derived from dietary ellagitannins.
Gut microbial catechol dehydroxylases are not well understood. They are metalloenzymes. They may affect human health. They metabolize dietary polyphenols. Active genes found with metatranscriptomics (MTX) encode catechol dehydroxylases in the [intestine](brain://2ze-J2p2VEi_0VSpadeLHw/IntestineGastrointest…
