Acyloxyacyl hydrolase

In enzymology, an acyloxyacyl hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * 3-(acyloxy)acyl group of bacterial toxin $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 3-hydroxyacyl group of bacterial toxin + a fatty acid

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, 3-(acyloxy)acyl group of bacterial toxin, and two products, 3-hydroxyacyl group of bacterial toxin and fatty acid.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is .
