Acetylpyruvate hydrolase

Acetylpyruvate hydrolase

In enzymology, an acetylpyruvate hydrolase (EC number|3.7.1.6) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:acetylpyruvate + H2O ightleftharpoons acetate + pyruvate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are acetylpyruvate and H2O, whereas its two products are acetate and pyruvate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 2,4-dioxopentanoate acetylhydrolase.
