The enzyme orsellinate-depside hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.40) catalyzes the reaction


 * orsellinate depside + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ 2 orsellinate

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