Oleoyl-(acyl-carrier-protein) hydrolase

The enzyme oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.14) catalyzes the reaction

an oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] + H<sub>2</sub>O an [acyl-carrier-protein] + oleate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name is oleoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase. Other names in common use include acyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] hydrolase, acyl-ACP-hydrolase, acyl-acyl carrier protein hydrolase, oleoyl-ACP thioesterase, and oleoyl-acyl carrier protein thioesterase. It participates in fatty acid biosynthesis.

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