In enzymology, a trans-epoxysuccinate hydrolase (EC 3.3.2.4) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction

trans-2,3-epoxysuccinate + H2O meso-tartrate

Thus, the two substrates of this enzyme are trans-2,3-epoxysuccinate and H2O, whereas its product is meso-tartrate.

This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases, specifically those acting on ether bonds (ether hydrolases). The systematic name of this enzyme class is trans-2,3-epoxysuccinate hydrolase. Other names in common use include trans-epoxysuccinate hydratase, and tartrate epoxydase. This enzyme participates in glyoxylate and dicarboxylate metabolism.

Hydrolase is a class of enzymes that commonly perform as biochemical catalysts that use water to break a chemical bond, which typically results in dividing a larger molecule into smaller molecules. Some common examples of hydrolase enzymes are esterases including lipases, phosphatases, glycosidases, peptidases, and nucleosidases.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Acid phosphatase</span> Class of enzymes

Acid phosphatase is an enzyme that frees attached phosphoryl groups from other molecules during digestion. It can be further classified as a phosphomonoesterase. It is stored in lysosomes and functions when these fuse with endosomes, which are acidified while they function; therefore, it has an acid pH optimum. This enzyme is present in many animal and plant species.
