KEGG   ENZYME: 3.1.1.25
Entry
EC 3.1.1.25                 Enzyme                                 
Name
1,4-lactonase;
gamma-lactonase
Class
Hydrolases;
Acting on ester bonds;
Carboxylic-ester hydrolases
Sysname
1,4-lactone hydroxyacylhydrolase
Reaction(IUBMB)
a 1,4-lactone + H2O = a 4-hydroxyacid [RN:R03708]
Reaction(KEGG)
R03708 > R02933 R03034
Substrate
1,4-lactone [CPD:C01770];
H2O [CPD:C00001]
Product
4-hydroxyacid [CPD:C01991]
Comment
The enzyme is specific for 1,4-lactones with 4-8 carbon atoms. It does not hydrolyse simple aliphatic esters, acetylcholine, sugar lactones or substituted aliphatic lactones, e.g. 3-hydroxy-4-butyrolactone; requires Ca2+.
