3-hydroxyoctanoyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) dehydratase

In enzymology, a 3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] dehydratase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction


 * (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] $$\rightleftharpoons$$ oct-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H2O

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein], and two products, oct-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] and H2O.

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydro-lyase (oct-2-enoyl-[acyl-carrier protein]-forming). Other names in common use include D-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl carrier protein] dehydratase, D-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-acyl carrier protein dehydratase, beta-hydroxyoctanoyl-acyl carrier protein dehydrase, beta-hydroxyoctanoyl thioester dehydratase, beta-hydroxyoctanoyl-ACP-dehydrase, and (3R)-3-hydroxyoctanoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydro-lyase.
