usually with modifierAn enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of a particular substrate.
〔生化〕水解酶
Example sentencesExamples
Microsomal epoxide hydrolase detoxifies reactive oxygen species generated by endotoxin exposure, and polymorphisms of the miH gene are associated with altered enzyme activity.
Biopterin is a vital cofactor in tryptophan hydrolase's conversion of tryptophan to serotonin.
Thus, although not a nudix hydrolase, this enzyme seems to fulfil the housecleaning role proposed for nudix hydrolases.
More recent work suggests that the cell wall hydrolase, pectin methyl esterase, plays a role in weakening of the megagametophyte, allowing radicle emergence and the completion of germination.
This enzyme, a lysosomal hydrolase, is involved in the catabolism of neutral glycosphingolipids.
