Long-chain-enoyl-CoA hydratase

Template:Infobox enzyme The enzyme long-chain-enoyl-CoA hydratase (Template:EnzExplorer) catalyzes the chemical reaction

(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA $\rightleftharpoons$ trans-2-enoyl-CoA + H₂O

This enzyme belongs to the family of lyases, specifically the hydro-lyases, which cleave carbon-oxygen bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is long-chain-(3S)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase. This enzyme is also called long-chain enoyl coenzyme A hydratase. This enzyme participates in fatty acid elongation in mitochondria and fatty acid metabolism.
