The enzyme acetoacetyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.11) catalyzes the reaction
The enzyme characterised from liver hydrolyses acetoacetyl-CoA to coenzyme A and acetoacetic acid, which forms the thioester in the starting material.[1][2][3] The enzyme from Thermosipho melanesiensis has been studied as a means of producing acetone by metabolic engineering.[4]
This is a hydrolase, specifically one acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name is acetoacetyl-CoA hydrolase. Other names in common use include acetoacetyl coenzyme A hydrolase, acetoacetyl CoA deacylase, and acetoacetyl coenzyme A deacylase.[5]
