ID   3.7.1.23
DE   maleylpyruvate hydrolase.
CA   3-maleylpyruvate + H2O = H(+) + maleate + pyruvate.
CC   -!- The enzyme, characterized from the bacterium Pseudomonas alcaligenes
CC       NCIMB 9867, catalyzes the hydrolysis of 3-maleylpyruvate, the ring-
CC       cleavage product of gentisate.
CC   -!- The enzyme can also act on a number of maleylpyruvate derivatives,
CC       such as (2E)-2-methyl-4,6-dioxohept-2-enedioate and (2E)-3-methyl-
CC       4,6-dioxohept-2-enedioate.
CC   -!- May be identical to EC 3.7.1.5.
