Glossary:

2-succinylbenzoate = o-succinylbenzoate = 4-(2-carboxyphenyl)-4-oxobutanoate

Other name(s):

o-succinylbenzoic acid synthase; OSB synthase; OSBS; 2-succinylbenzoate synthase; MenC

Systematic name:

(1R,6R)-6-hydroxy-2-succinylcyclohexa-2,4-diene-1-carboxylate hydro-lyase (2-succinylbenzoate-forming)

Comments:

Belongs to the enolase superfamily and requires divalent cations, preferably Mg²⁺ or Mn²⁺, for activity. Forms part of the vitamin-K-biosynthesis pathway.
