The enzyme phorbol-diester hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.51)
catalyzes
Catalysis () is the process of increasing the rate of a chemical reaction by adding a substance known as a catalyst (). Catalysts are not consumed in the reaction and remain unchanged after it. If the reaction is rapid and the catalyst recyc ...
the reaction
:phorbol 12,13-dibutanoate + H
2O
phorbol 13-butanoate + butanoate
This enzyme belongs to the family of
hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic
ester bonds. The
systematic name is 12,13-diacylphorbate 12-acylhydrolase. Other names in common use include diacylphorbate 12-hydrolase, diacylphorbate 12-hydrolase, phorbol-12,13-diester 12-ester hydrolase, and PDEH.
