Itaconyl-CoA hydratase

In enzymology, an itaconyl-CoA hydratase (EC number|4.2.1.56) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

:citramalyl-CoA $ightleftharpoons$ itaconyl-CoA + H₂O

Hence, this enzyme has one substrate, citramalyl-CoA, and two products, itaconyl-CoA 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 citramalyl-CoA hydro-lyase (itaconyl-CoA-forming). Other names in common use include itaconyl coenzyme A hydratase, and citramalyl-CoA hydro-lyase. This enzyme participates in c5-branched dibasic acid metabolism.
