Oleate hydratase

In enzymology, an oleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.53) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction In enzymology, an oleate hydratase (EC 4.2.1.53) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, (R)-10-hydroxystearate, and two products, oleate 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 (R)-10-hydroxystearate 10-hydro-lyase (oleate-forming). This enzyme is also called (R)-10-hydroxystearate 10-hydro-lyase.
