Fusarinine-C ornithinesterase

The enzyme fusarinine-C ornithinesterase (EC 3.1.1.48) catalyzes the reaction


 * N5-acyl- L -ornithine ester + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ N5-acyl- L -ornithine + an alcohol

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is N5- L -ornithine-ester hydrolase. Other names in common use include ornithine esterase, and 5-N5- L -ornithine-ester hydrolase.
