Trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In enzymology, a trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

trans-2,3-epoxysuccinate + H₂O meso-tartrate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are trans-2,3-epoxysuccinate and H₂O, whereas its product is meso-tartrate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is trans-2,3-epoxysuccinate hydrolase. Other names in common use include trans-epoxysuccinate hydratase, and tartrate epoxydase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.
