Dodecanoyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) hydrolase

In enzymology, a dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ [acyl-carrier-protein] + dodecanoate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] and H2O, whereas its two products are [acyl-carrier-protein] and dodecanoate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase. Other names in common use include lauryl-acyl-carrier-protein hydrolase, dodecanoyl-acyl-carrier-protein hydrolase, dodecyl-acyl-carrier protein hydrolase, and dodecanoyl-[acyl-carrier protein] hydrolase.
