In enzymology, an orsellinate-depside hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.40) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

orsellinate depside + H2O \rightleftharpoons 2 orsellinate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are orsellinate depside and H2O, whereas its product is orsellinate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is orsellinate-depside hydrolase. This enzyme is also called lecanorate hydrolase.
