5'-acylphosphoadenosine hydrolase

Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a 5'-acylphosphoadenosine hydrolase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

5'-acylphosphoadenosine + H₂O $\rightleftharpoons$ AMP + a carboxylate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are 5'-acylphosphoadenosine and H₂O, whereas its two products are AMP and carboxylate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on acid anhydrides in phosphorus-containing anhydrides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 5'-acylphosphoadenosine acylhydrolase. This enzyme is also called 5-phosphoadenosine hydrolase. This enzyme participates in purine metabolism.
