Pantetheine hydrolase
In enzymology, a pantetheine hydrolase is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction
Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are -pantetheine and H2O, whereas its two products are -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 -pantetheine amidohydrolase. Other names in common use include pantetheinase, vanin, and vanin-1. This enzyme participates in pantothenate and coa biosynthesis.
