Acylpyruvate hydrolase

In enzymology, an acylpyruvate hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction In enzymology, an acylpyruvate hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.5) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 3-acylpyruvate and water, whereas its two products are carboxylate and pyruvate. This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on carbon-carbon bonds in ketonic substances. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 3-acylpyruvate acylhydrolase. This enzyme participates in tyrosine metabolism.
