S-succinylglutathione hydrolase

In enzymology, a S-succinylglutathione hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * S-succinylglutathione + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ glutathione + succinate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are S-succinylglutathione and H2O, whereas its two products are glutathione and succinate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is S-succinylglutathione hydrolase.
