Succinyl-CoA hydrolase

The enzyme succinyl-CoA hydrolase (EC 3.1.2.3) catalyzes the reaction


 * succinyl-CoA + H2O $$\rightleftharpoons$$ CoA + succinate

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on thioester bonds. The systematic name is succinyl-CoA hydrolase. Other names in common use include succinyl-CoA acylase, succinyl coenzyme A hydrolase, and succinyl coenzyme A deacylase. This enzyme participates in the tricaboxylate cycle.
