In enzymology a 11-cis-retinyl-palmitate hydrolase (EC 3.1.1.63) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction11-cis-retinyl palmitate + H2O 11-cis-retinol + palmitateThus the two substrates of this enzyme are 11-cis-retinyl palmitate and H2O whereas its two products are 11-cis-retinol and palmitate.This enzyme belongs to the family of hydrolases specifically those acting on carboxylic ester bonds. The systematic name of this enzyme class is 11-cis-retinyl-palmitate acylhydrolase.
