Other name(s): 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2; AtECH2; ECH2; MaoC; MFE-2; PhaJAc; D-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase; D-specific 2-trans-enoyl-CoA hydratase
Systematic name: (3R)-3-hydroxyacyl-CoA hydro-lyase
Comments: This enzyme catalyses a hydration step in peroxisomal β-oxidation. The human multifunctional enzyme type 2 (MFE-2) is a 79000 Da enzyme composed of three functional units: (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 and sterol carrier protein 2-like units [1]. The enzymes from Aeromonas caviae [4] and Arabidopsis thaliana [5] are monofunctional enzymes. 2-Enoyl-CoA hydratase 3 from Candida tropicalis is a part from multifunctional enzyme type 2 [3].
