Citrate lyase deacetylase

In enzymology, a citrate lyase deacetylase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * [citrate (pro-3S)-lyase](acetyl form) + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ [citrate (pro-3S)-lyase](thiol form) + acetate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are [citrate (pro-3S)-lyase](acetyl form) and H2O, whereas its two products are [citrate (pro-3S)-lyase](thiol form) and acetate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is [citrate-(pro-3S)-lyase](acetyl-form) hydrolase. This enzyme is also called [citrate-(pro-3S)-lyase] thiolesterase.
