Identifiers EC number 3.8.1.9 CAS number 119345-29-8 Databases IntEnz IntEnz view BRENDA BRENDA entry ExPASy NiceZyme view KEGG KEGG entry MetaCyc metabolic pathway PRIAM profile PDB structures RCSB PDB PDBe PDBsum Search PMC articles PubMed articles In enzymology, a (R)-2-haloacid dehalogenase (EC 3.8.1.9) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (R)-2-haloacid + H2O (S)-2-hydroxyacid + halide
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-2-haloacid and H2O, whereas its two products are (S)-2-hydroxyacid and halide.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on halide bonds in carbon-halide compounds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-2-haloacid halidohydrolase. Other names in common use include 2-haloalkanoic acid dehalogenase[ambiguous], 2-haloalkanoid acid halidohydrolase[ambiguous], D-2-haloacid dehalogenase, and D-DEX.
