Template:Short description Template:Infobox enzyme In enzymology, a pantetheine hydrolase (Template:EC number) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
- (R)-pantetheine + H2O (R)-pantothenate + 2-aminoethanethiol
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are (R)-pantetheine and H2O, whereas its two products are (R)-pantothenate and 2-aminoethanethiol.
This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, those acting on carbon-nitrogen bonds other than peptide bonds, specifically in linear amides. The systematic name of this enzyme class is (R)-pantetheine amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include pantetheinase, vanin, and vanin-1. This enzyme participates in pantothenate and CoA biosynthesis.
