Cyclohexane-1,3-dione hydrolase

In enzymology, a cyclohexane-1,3-dione hydrolase (EC 3.7.1.10) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

cyclohexane-1,3-dione + H₂O ${\displaystyle \rightleftharpoons }$ 5-oxohexanoate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are cyclohexane-1,3-dione and H2O, whereas its product is 5-oxohexanoate.

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 cyclohexane-1,3-dione acylhydrolase (decyclizing). This enzyme is also called 1,3-cyclohexanedione hydrolase.
