Oleate hydratase
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In enzymology, an oleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.53) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (R)-10-hydroxystearate
oleate + H2O
Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (R)-10-hydroxystearate, and two products, oleate and H2O.
This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-10-hydroxystearate 10-hydro-lyase (oleate-forming). This enzyme is also called (R)-10-hydroxystearate 10-hydro-lyase.
