Acyl-CoA hydrolase

The enzyme acyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.20) catalyzes the reaction This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds.

The systematic name of this enzyme class is acyl-CoA hydrolase.

Other names in common use include acyl coenzyme A thioesterase, acyl-CoA thioesterase, acyl coenzyme A hydrolase, thioesterase B, thioesterase II, and acyl-CoA thioesterase.

As of late 2007, two structures have been solved for this class of enzymes, with PDB accession codes 1Y7U and 2GVH.
