The enzyme acyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.20) catalyzes the reaction
- acyl-CoA + H2O CoA + a carboxylate
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA hydrolase. Other names in common use include acyl coenzyme A thioesterase, acyl-CoA thioesterase, acyl coenzyme A hydrolase, thioesterase B, thioesterase II, and acyl-CoA thioesterase.
Structural studies
[edit]As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1Y7U and 2GVH.
