Oleoyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) hydrolase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, an oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.14) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ [acyl-carrier-protein] + oleate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are [[oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein]]] and H₂O, whereas its two products are [[[acyl-carrier-protein]]] and oleate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase. Other names in common use include acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase, acyl-ACP-hydrolase, acyl-acyl carrier protein hydrolase, oleoyl-ACP thioesterase, and oleoyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase. This enzyme participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.
