Function

[RDPA_DELAC] Involved in the degradation of the phenoxypropionate herbicides. Catalyzes the enantiospecific cleavage of the ether bond in the herbicid R-dichlorprop ((R)-2-(2,4-dichlorophenoxy)propionate)(R-2,4-DP) and R-mecoprop ((R)-2-(4-chloro-2-methylphenoxy)propionate)(R-2,4-MCPP). It can also accept (RS)-2-(2,4,5-trichlorophenoxy)propionate, (RS)-2-(4-chlorophenoxy)propionate, (RS)-2-(m-chlorophenoxy)propionate, however it can only accept 2-oxoglutarate as oxygen acceptor.^{[1] [2]}
