Styrene-oxide isomerase

In enzymology, a styrene-oxide isomerase (EC number|5.3.99.7) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:styrene oxide $ightleftharpoons$ phenylacetaldehyde

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, styrene oxide, and one product, phenylacetaldehyde.

This enzyme belongs to the family of isomerases, specifically a class of other intramolecular oxidoreductases. The systematic name of this enzyme class is styrene-oxide isomerase (epoxide-cleaving). This enzyme is also called SOI. This enzyme participates in styrene degradation.
