Formyl-CoA hydrolase

The enzyme formyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.10) catalyzes the reaction


 * formyl-CoA + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CoA + formate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name is formyl-CoA hydrolase. This enzyme is also called formyl coenzyme A hydrolase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.
