Hydroxybutyrate-dimer hydrolase
In enzymology, a hydroxybutyrate-dimer hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are -3-butanoate and H2O, whereas its product is -3-hydroxybutanoate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is -3-butanoate hydroxybutanoylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called D--3-hydroxybutyrate-dimer hydrolase. This enzyme participates in butanoate metabolism.
