Enzyme Information
| 3.1.1.56 |
Methylumbelliferyl-acetate deacetylase.
based on mapping to UniProt P23141
4-methylumbelliferyl acetate + H(2)O = 4-methylumbelliferone + acetate.
-!- Acts on short-chain acyl esters of 4-methylumbelliferone, but not on naphthyl, indoxyl or thiocholine esters.
|
| 3.1.1.1 |
Carboxylesterase.
based on mapping to UniProt P23141
A carboxylic ester + H(2)O = an alcohol + a carboxylate.
-!- Wide specificity; also hydrolyzes vitamin A esters. -!- The enzymes from microsomes also catalyze the reactions of EC 3.1.1.2, EC 3.1.1.5, EC 3.1.1.6, EC 3.1.1.23, EC 3.1.1.28, EC 3.1.2.2, EC 3.5.1.4 and EC 3.5.1.13. -!- Formerly EC 3.1.1.12.
