- 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate + H2O
4-methylumbelliferone + acetate
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 4-methylumbelliferyl acetate and H2O, whereas its two products are 4-methylumbelliferone and acetate.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 4-methylumbelliferyl-acetate acylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called esterase D.
